From the author: Despite its reputation as the flagship international wildlife conservation treaty, Parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) struggle to perform accurate assessments of the impact of trade on the survival of species. Lack of funding, capacity, and sometimes political will hampers the effectiveness of the conservation regime because Parties export specimens without the necessary finding that trade in the specimen will not be detrimental to the survival of the species as a whole. While Parties struggle to gather the necessary biological information, other organizations already engage in this analysis. For CITES to fully achieve its conservation goals, the Parties must explore methods of combining efforts with these non-CITES organizations. This Comment evaluates potential opportunities to synthesize the conservation efforts of CITES with those of Regional Fisheries Management Organizations and third party certification organizations.
