Hello fellow delegates,
Remember the daily emails you received from our Convention of International Trade of Endangered Species (CITES) team in Panama back in 2022? Well… they are about to launch again!
This year the Conference of the Parties is in Uzbekistan, and our team has just arrived. For the next two weeks we’ll be sending daily updates straight from the front lines. If you know longer wish to receive the daily updates please unsubscribe from this day by day briefing — but we truly hope you’ll stay with us. As virtual delegates, your support means so much to those of us doing the work here on the ground.
As always, there are vital marine species up for discussion and, we hope, new protections. It’s going to be a fascinating two weeks, and we’re grateful to have you with us. Already today there were active debates regarding totoaba and vaquita porpoise.
Stand by — more tomorrow.
Best wishes,
Phil, Georgienne, Jay, and Tobias
CITES CoP20, Uzbekistan
