About the list
The following is a guide to the list of CITES Species for the purposes of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 taking into account the amendments agreed at the 14th Conference of the Parties to CITES (CoP14).
The list includes details of the CITES Appendix in which a species is listed, the date on which the CITES provisions first applied to the species, the specimens of the species that are included in a particular Appendix, and any conditions or restrictions that may apply to the specimen. The notation 'p.e' indicates species that may be possibly extinct. Specimens derived from Appendix III species either require a permit or a Certificate of Origin to be issued.
