Title: Implementing the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES); Results of 14th and 15th Meetings of the Conference of the Parties (CoPs) 
Abstract: FWS revised the regulations implementing CITES by incorporating provisions related to the results of CoPs 14 and 15. These changes bring U.S. regulations in line with revisions adopted at those two CoPs. The revised regulations will help us more effectively promote species conservation, fulfill our responsibilities under CITES, and help those affected by CITES to understand how to conduct lawful international trade in wildlife and wildlife products.
