Bangladesh handed CITES suspension as illegal wildlife trade continues

Quick Summary:

CITES, the international endangered wildlife trade convention, has suspended Bangladesh, one of its signatory countries, due to the illegal trade of birds – mainly import – for commercial purposes.

CITES is an international agreement among nations to ensure that the international trade of wildlife, both flora and fauna, does not increase to a level that threatens their survival in nature.

However, the Bangladesh Wildlife (Conservation and Protection Law) 2012 mentioned 578 species of birds as local, most of which are enlisted in CITES.
