Dear {name},

The CITES Standing Committee will reconvene in Geneva, Switzerland, on 6-10 November. If you plan to attend, please contact us. Working Group 1 (Science Policy Interface) and the Secretariat are preparing a joint statement based on the Alliance's mission and goals to be presented to the Standing Committee. We invite all those present to sign the document as members of the Alliance.

If you join the upcoming CoP28 from November 30 to December 12 in the United Arab Emirates, send us a message and we will connect you with other Alliance members that will be there. This year, new action areas will enjoy more attention, such as health, trade or recovery.

If you are joining the upcoming CMS CoP14 on February 12 until 17, 2024, in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, reach out to the Secretariat. We will support you in getting in touch with other attending Alliance members.

If you would like to connect over one of these upcoming conferences, send us an e-mail. We are happy to forward your contact to other interested individuals and organisations so that you can get in touch and meet in person at the conference or even set up an event together. Alternatively, feel free to post any requests in our Members Area.

One of our Alliance members is looking for expertise, knowledge, and research studies for their project on pet trade, internationally and nationally, in country-specific contexts and on the international scale.

Do you know any studies on national regulations or action plans/strategies that aim to address or tackle pet trade, referring, for example, to the demand and supply side?

Any type of information or input is very appreciated. Thank you!

University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas (U.S.) has numerous openings in research positions, and several within their One Health team. 

Post your own job offers or find more information in our members area.
