CITES
regulates international trade in animal and plant species
listed in one of three appendices. The Parties have agreed to criteria
and guidance for amending Appendices
I and II, and guidance for including a species in Appendix
III. The Parties have also adopted a resolution on
CITES and timber species. The Parties agreed that before introducing
a proposal to list a tree species in CITES, the proposing country should
consult with other international organizations with
competence on timber and forestry issues. They also agreed that any proposal
to include timber in Appendix II or III should indicate what parts and
derivatives of that species will be regulated (see CITES Annotations
column on table below for Appendix-II and -III species).
Not all CITES-listed tree species are traded as timber; some are traded
as medicinal or horticultural specimens (for example, Taxus and
palms)
