An improved CITES is needed

In early June, the 14th conference of the 'Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora' (CITES) will be held in the Netherlands.

The convention regulates international trade in endangered species and protects plants and animals from extinction. But Milieudefensie/Friends of the Earth Netherlands wants CITES to do more - their proposed changes to the convention would make an impact on the international trade in destructively and illegally logged wood.

Send an email to the Dutch minister who is hosting a special meeting that will set the agenda for CITES.

Also: I would recommend you to make some changes in the letter, just I did!
