The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) turns 40 this year! AWI has been there from the beginning, taking part in the first meeting to establish CITES and playing an active role since. Twenty years ago, AWI also helped co-found the Species Survival Network (SSN), an international coalition of 80 organizations that works to strengthen CITES and address the increasing threat of wildlife trade to global biodiversity. To commemorate these two anniversaries, AWI has created a beautiful poster—currently on display at the CITES meeting in Bangkok—featuring a number of at-risk species.
