CITES Appendix II Is Not Enough for Anguilla Eels: Threatened Species Should Be in Appendix I

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT The inclusion of all Anguilla eel species in CITES Appendix II, now being discussed, is an insufficient measure. Four severely threatened species should be in Appendix I, whereas the other 13 species qualify for Appendix II. More ambitious CITES amendments are needed to achieve effective protection of Anguilla eels.
