Скачать или смотреть CITES 50th Anniversary - Endangered Species & Wildlife Trade || UPSC IAS Current Affairs

CITES – the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora – is one of the most important international environmental agreements for UPSC IAS preparation. Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2025, CITES regulates global wildlife trade to ensure that the export and import of endangered animals and plants does not threaten their survival. This UPSC Environment & Ecology video explains the origin of CITES (1963 IUCN meeting, enforced in 1975), its legally binding framework, the role of the UNEP Secretariat in Geneva, and how India, a Party since 1976, implements CITES through domestic wildlife laws.

Learn how CITES Appendices I, II, III protect more than 40,000 species, how the Conference of Parties (CoP) makes key decisions, and why the MIKE programme (Monitoring of Illegal Killing of Elephants) and the International Consortium on Combating Wildlife Crime (ICCWC) are crucial to stopping poaching and illegal trade. We also cover India’s MIKE sites—Chirang-Ripu and Dihing Patkai reserves in Assam—and highlight how CITES aligns with SDG Goal 15 (Life on Land) and other global biodiversity targets.

Perfect for UPSC Prelims and Mains 2025, this video provides exam-oriented facts, important current affairs, and clear explanations for Environment, Ecology, and International Relations sections. Whether you are preparing for IAS, IPS, IFS, State PCS, or other competitive exams, this is your one-stop guide to CITES and the fight against illegal wildlife trade.
