CITES Tree Species Programme Regional Meeting for Asia

ITTO and the Secretariat of the Convention on Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) have been working in close partnership for more than a decade to assist countries to implement CITES listings of tropical timber species. This regional meeting, convened under the CITES Trees Programme for representatives of participating Parties, will share experiences on managing CITES-listed tree species and will discuss, among other things, CITES Decision 17.197 on agarwood-producing taxa.
