Summary

This volume focuses on the legal aspects of implementing the CITES to achieve the world’s SDGs. It provides a serious contribution to the current academic scholarly debates on the protection of listed species, by analysing key issues under the CITES that affect the design and implementation of national regulatory regimes, as well as existing policies and laws on CITES-listed species as they relate to sustainable development objectives of the country. It also examines the practical, legal, political and economic problems encountered in the attempt to implement these regulations in contemporary settings. It considers, in particular, how regulations which implement CITES can also foster sustainable development in developing countries.
