AFWA/CITES

archived

This award will be used to assist with expenditures directly associated with participation of four regional AFWA CITES Technical Work Group representatives and the AFWA International Relations Director at national and international CITES meetings. These include meetings with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), the Interagency CITES Coordination Committee, CITES Plants and Animals Committees, CITES Table of the Trilateral Committee for Wildlife and Ecosystem Conservation and Management, and other national and regional meetings where CITES is an agenda item. No personnel costs have been included in this grant, but are provided by participating states in support of this vital program. The Work Group represents the interests of the 50 state fish and wildlife agencies and participates to ensure state wildlife agencies are represented during discussions of proposals considered by the CITES Parties. This grant helps make it possible for the Service to meet its obligations as set forth in 43 CFR Part 24.5.
