The CITES is an international agreement established to regulate and monitor the trade of wild animals and plants to ensure their conservation and sustainable use. It is a global agreement aimed at protecting biodiversity and preventing overexploitation of species due to international trade. The book “CITES Endangered Species on Stamps” gives details about the CITES convention. There are 360 images of the stamps released by the UNPA from 1993 to 2023, and stamps with the CITES logo released by Poland, Chile, and Japan for endangered species day and first day covers are shown in the book. This book would be very useful to environmentalists, foresters, philatelists, and students alike.
