Directed to the Secretariat
17.X1 The Secretariat shall commission a report in consultation with IUCN to identify species,
a) that are endemic or with extremely restricted distribution area;
b) threatened, vulnerable or endangered (under the ‘IUCN red list’ or comparable evaluations); and
c) are threatened by international trade, in particular illegal trade,
for which an Appendix-III CITES listing would present an added-value for the conservation of the
species concerned.
