The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) regulates international trade in specimens (plants, animals and parts and derivatives thereof) of about 36,000 species listed in the three Appendices of the Convention.

In order to efficiently implement the Convention and ensure that when international wildlife trade occurs, it is legal, sustainable and traceable, Parties to CITES need to have in place adequate national legislation and designate one or more Management and Scientific authorities.

The role of the Secretariat is to support Parties in the effective implementation of the Convention and the related Resolutions and Decisions.

To further assist Parties and to ensure that the Convention continues to respond to current conservation needs and challenges, the Conference of the Parties is directing the Secretariat to undertake an increasing number of specific activities.

The Secretariat is also tasked with organizing the annual meetings of the permanent committees and with organizing smaller ad hoc workshops and consultations.


The Outreach and Projects Unit is seeking a Intern to assist in the planning, researching, production and release of communications and multimedia materials, on a broad range of wildlife conservation topics, across various CITES channels.
