Podcast: The problem with CITES

28 April 2022
< 1 minute

We take an in-depth look at CITES, the international convention designed to protect wildlife by monitoring and regulating wildlife trade


This month we revisit an article from the April issue of Geographical magazine. Journalist Roman Goergen speaks to experts and campaigners from both within and outside CITES to find out why the agreement is cracking under the pressure. He discovers a world of bitter disputes between countries and campaigners and a workforce dealing with an impossible workload.
