How is CITES funded?
Traditionally, members of the Convention have supplied funding to administer the CITES programs. As membership has grown and the scope and inclusions of the Convention have increased, supplementary funding has become a necessity. This comes from a wide variety of sources, including international organizations, individual governments, and the private sector. Additional funding is always needed for programs such as public education, technical and enforcement training for member countries, field studies, and monitoring.
