Next week delegates from 171 countries will be assembling in the Netherlands for a meeting of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species. This is the world’s biggest wildlife treaty, with nearly every country in the world a member.
Amongst the topics expected to be discussed is whether China will lift its successful ban on domestic trade of tiger parts.
Reopening even a limited legal trade would reignite a demand for wild tiger products and spark an open season on tigers in the wild. We need to send a strong, clear and powerful message to the world that this simply cannot happen.
