Taking stock of CITES-listed tree species

An international workshop was convened from January 7-10 in Bali, Indonesia to review outcomes and lessons from phase 1 of the ITTO-CITES programme to improve implementation of CITES listings of tropical tree species. The meeting, attended by over 50 participants from more than 10 countries as well as international organizations and other relevant stakeholders, will also provide guidance for implementation of a second phase of the ITTO-CITES programme which commenced in 2012 with a second large grant from the European Union together with contributions from other donors.
