Context

The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, or CITES for short, is an international treaty organization tasked with monitoring, reporting, and providing recommendations on the international species trade. CITES is a division of the IUCN, which is one of the principal international organization focused on wildlife conversation at large. It is not a part of the UN (though its reports are read closely by the UN).

CITES is one of the oldest conservation organizations in existence. Participation in CITES is voluntary, but almost every member nation in the UN (and, therefore, almost every country worldwide) participates. Countries participating in CITES are obligated to report on roughly 5000 animal species and 29000 plant species brought into or exported out of their countries, and to honor limitations placed on the international trade of these species.

Protected species are organized into three appendixes. Appendix I species are those whose trade threatens them with extinction. Two particularly famous examples of Class I species are the black rhinoceros and the African elephant, whose extremely valuable tusks are an alluring target for poachers exporting ivory abroad. There are 1200 such species. Appendix II species are those not threatened with extinction, but whose trade is nevertheless detrimental. Most species in cites, around 21000 of them, are in Appendix II. Finally, Appendix III animals are those submitted to CITES by member states as a control mechanism. There are about 170 such species, and their export or import requires permits from the submitting member state(s).

This dataset records all legal species imports and exports carried out in 2016 (and a few records from 2017) and reported to CITES. Species not on the CITES lists are not included; nor is the significant, and highly illegal, ongoing black market trading activity.

Content

This dataset contains records on every international import or export conducted with species from the CITES lists in 2016. It contains columns identifying the species, the import and export countries, and the amount and characteristics of the goods being traded (which range from live animals to skins and cadavers).

For further details on individual rows and columns refer to the metadata on the /data tab. A much more detailed description of each of the fields is available in the original CITES documentation.

This dataset was originally aggregated by CITES and made available online through this downloader tool. The CITES downloader goes back to 1975, however it is only possible to download fully international data two years at a time (or so) due to limitations in the number of rows allowed by the data exporter. If you would like data going further back, check out the downloader. Be warned, though, this data takes a long time to generate!

This data is prepared for CITES by UNEP, a division of the UN, and hence likely covered by the UN Data License.

Inspiration

• What is the geospatial distribution of the international plant/animal trade?
• How much export/import activity is there for well-known species, like rhinos, elephants, etcetera?
• What percent of the trade is live, as opposed to animal products (ivory, skins, cadavers, etcetera)?

The global legal wildlife trade is worth US$4-20 billion to the world’s economy every year. Raptors frequently enter the wildlife trade for use as display animals, by falconers or hobbyists for sport and recreation. Using data from the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora’s (CITES) Trade Database, we examined trends in the global, legal commercial trade of CITES-listed raptors between 1975-2020. Overall 272 raptor species were traded, totalling 188,149 individuals, with the number of traded raptors increasing over time. Hybrid Falcons (N = 50,366) were most commonly traded, comprising more than a third of the global diurnal CITES-listed raptor trade, followed by Gyrfalcons (Falco rusticolus; N = 30,510), Saker Falcons (F. cherrug; N = 21,679), Peregrine Falcons (F. peregrinus; N = 13,390) and Northern White-faced Owls (Ptilopsis leucotis; N = 6,725). More than half of wild-caught diurnal raptors were classified as globally threatened. The Unite..., Trade data for all CITES-listed raptor species were downloaded from the open-access CITES Trade Database (https://trade.cites.org/) on 21st November 2021, using a compiled Comparative Tabulation Table from UNEP/WCMC. The following search terms were used to filter the CITES trade data: “Year Range†was set to include all records between 1975 to 2020, “Source†was set to “ALL†, “Purpose†was set to “COMMERCIAL†denoted by the letter (T) and “Trade Terms†was set to “LIVE†which filtered trade records for only live birds. The “Source†variable relates to the original source of the specimens traded (CITES Secretariat and UNEP-WCMC 2022) and allows the data set to be subset by, but not limited to: specimens bred in captivity (denoted by the letter “C†), specimens bred in captivity for commercial purposes (“D†), specimens taken from the wild (“W†) and ranched specimens including those that are reared in a controlled environment, taken as eggs or juveniles from the wild, which would otherwise ..., , Variable descriptions:

The One Health approach unites efforts across human-animal-environment interfaces against shared threats like zoonotic diseases. T-Racing is a Shiny web application, that supports epidemiological investigations and helps contain livestock-related disease spread, aligning with multidisciplinary principles to safeguard public health. The application uses Temporal Network Analysis techniques to address the dynamic nature of animal trade, facilitating backward and forward tracing strategies. T-Racing leverages web services to retrieve data from multiple sources simultaneously and in near real-time through the plumber package and is distributed using Shinyproxy. T-Racing manages and analyze extensive and diverse datasets within the same environment, including animal movement data, disease outbreak data, and genomic data, all obtained from Italian National databases. In this work, we show T-Racing’s capabilities by simulating epidemiological investigations of brucellosis and tuberculosis outbreaks that occurred in non–endemic areas of Italy. To further highlight its capabilities, an interactive demo of T-Racing is available, showcasing its potential and features. This tool supports epidemiological investigations by adopting a data-driven approach, guiding users through the analysis via an iterative process while leveraging their expertise. Therefore, it enables faster data analysis, improves understanding of disease transmission patterns, and facilitates prompt and targeted interventions.

Animal production statistics cover three main sub-domains based on three pieces of relevant legislation and related gentlemen’s agreements.

• Livestock and meat statistics are collected under Regulation (EC) No 1165/2008. They cover meat production, as activity of slaughterhouses (monthly) and as other slaughtering (annual), meat production (gross indigenous production) forecast (semi-annual or quarterly), livestock statistics, including regional statistics. A quality report is also collected every third year.
• Milk and milk product statistics are collected under Decision 97/80/EC implementing Directive 96/16/EC. They cover farm production and utilisation of milk (annual), collection (monthly for cows’ milk) and production activity by dairies (annual) and statistics on the structure of dairies (every third year). An annual methodological report is also collected.
• Statistics on eggs for hatching and farmyard poultry chicks are collected under Regulation (EC) No 617/2008, implementing Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 (Single CMO Regulation). They cover statistics on the structure (annual) and the activity (monthly) of hatcheries as well as reports on the external trade of chicks.

European Economic Area countries (EEA - Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) are requested to provide milk statistics, with the exception of those related to home consumption, as stated in Annex XXI of the EEA Agreement. Liechtenstein is exempted in the Agreement, only Norway is concerned.

The Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on cooperation in the field of statistics states that Switzerland must provide Eurostat with national milk statistics and, after 2013, livestock and meat statistics.

The same statistics are requested from the candidate and potential candidate countries as EU acquis.

The statistical tables disseminated by Eurostat are organised, under Animal production (apro_anip), into three groups of tables on Milk and milk products (apro_mk), Livestock and meat (apro_mt) and Poultry farming (apro_ec). This later label covers statistics on hatcheries and trade in chicks and on production of eggs for consumption. The regional animal production statistics collected on livestock (agr_r_animal) and on cows’ milk production on farms (agr_r_milk_pr) are disseminated separately.

Due to the change in the legal basis or in the methodology, the time series may be broken. This is indicated by a flag in the tables.

Further data about the same topics refer to repealed legal acts or agreements. The tables on statistics on the structure of rearing (apro_mt_str) and the number of laying hens (apro_ec_lshen) or of equidae (apro_mt_lsequi) are therefore no longer updated. The same applies to some variables (external trade of animals and meat), periods (surveys in April or August) or items (number of horses) included in other tables.

The detailed content of each table and the reference to its legal definition is provided in the table below.
