Abstract

The authors of this paper disagree with Gullison et al. who argued in their Commentary \"'Marketing\" species conservation\" that the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) should be restructured to protect mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla). In their view, CITES has been effective in regulating international trade of some species endangered with biological extinction.
