On Tuesday, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) Secretariat announced that it has recommended that all member countries suspend trade of endangered long-tailed macaques from Cambodia!
Since August 2024, together with our international partners, we repeatedly alerted the CITES Secretariat that Cambodian-origin macaques were being imported into Canada for use in experimentation in apparent violation of national laws and international guidelines.
Canada is the number one global destination for these monkeys—monkeys who are currently at the center of an international investigation into the alleged trafficking of wild-caught primates.
CITES Secretariat’s recommendation will be voted on by the CITES Standing Committee next month!
