In forty days time we will celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). CITES was signed on 3 March 1973 in Washington, D.C.. Today, forty days from this anniversary, we are presenting for the first time the official CITES 40th anniversary logo. The 40th anniversary of the Convention will coincide with the opening of the 16th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties (CoP16) to be held in Bangkok, Thailand, from 3 to 14 March 2013.
