Question

A Russian citizen has illegally obtained a Siberian tiger and is trying to sell the tigers fur in the us. What treaty does this violate?

Answer 1

CITES Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species. This treaty, officially in place in 1975, prevents the trade of illegal and endangered species overseas. The treaty covers the sale of wild animals and plants and aims to protect species from a trade that results in a threat to their survival.

Answer 2

This violates CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species). Most of the UN members have signed this treaty. This prohibits international trade of endangered plants and animals. Smuggling is discouraged. Trade must not hinder the existence of species.
