CITES has three different lists of Kiribati species (see<br />

http://www.cites.org/eng/resources/species.html). Appendix I listed species that were most<br />

endangered. Appendix II listed species that were not necessarily now threatened with<br />

extinction but that may become so unless trade was closely controlled. Appendix III listed<br />

species at the request of a party that already regulates trade I the species and needed the<br />

cooperation of other countries to prevent unsustainable or illegal exploitation.<br />

CITES Appendices I, II, and III for Kiribati are provided below (see Table III-6.4a to c<br />

below). Many of the species listed in these appendices are found in the Phoenix Islands.<br />
