The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) is conducting a review of the global amphibian trade. As part of this effort, CITES and The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) have developed a questionnaire to gather information on amphibians, including the following:
- the levels of international trade in amphibians (legal and illegal);
- captive breeding of amphibians;
- threat of diseases to and from amphibians in trade;
- and the national/regional (and/or local) management, enforcement and regulatory priorities of amphibians in international trade.
Read the CITES announcement and take the survey (link on second page) at https://usark.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/23-CITES-amphibians.pdf.
Additional information and any inquiries relating to the survey should be submitted by email to the IUCN at Oliver.Tallowin@iucn.org and copy to info@cites.org.
