Checklist of herpetofauna listed in the CITES appendices and in EC Regulation 338/97

The intention of this work is to provide a combined list of amphibian and reptile species included in the Appendices to CITES, the Annexes of the European Community (EC) Regulation 338/97, and to list their IUCN (World Conservation Union) conservation status category. This revised edition incorporates additions and amendments to the CITES appendices up to and including those made at the 10 th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties in Zimbabwe in June 1997 (effective from 18 September 1997). The IUCN status categories given here are those current at the time of preparation, as represented in the 1996 IUCNRed List of ThreatenedAnimals (IUCN. 1996).
