CITES Wiki Identification Manual
The CITES Wiki Identification Manual is a collection of data sheets designed to help identify various species of fauna and flora with drawings (black and white), photographs, maps and concise descriptions. It is a useful tool for CITES Management and Scientific Authorities, Customs officials, and all others involved in implementing and enforcing CITES.
To use the database, click on the button and first select ‘plants’ or ‘animals’, then choose to search by 'genus', ‘species’, or by common names. Please note that the content of the database is a work in progress and not all CITES-listed species are represented.
