The international agreement CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) classifies species into three Appendices based on their conservation status and the impact of trade. What is the primary implication for species listed in Appendix I?
💡 Explanation:
CITES Appendix I lists species that are most severely threatened with extinction and which are or may be affected by trade. To ensure survival, commercial international trade in specimens of these species is strictly forbidden.
