In a joint foreword to the publication, °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø×ÊÁÏ Director-General Roberto Azevêdo and CITES Secretary-General John E. Scanlon say: “Underpinning the positive evolution of the CITES-°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø×ÊÁÏ relationship is the growing recognition that the well-being of economies, habitats, and societies are inextricably linked. This has led CITES and the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø×ÊÁÏ to embark on more active forms of cooperation to assist governments in ensuring that trade, environment, and development policies work together for sustainable development. Such cooperation includes periodic institutional and policy dialogues, and joint technical assistance and capacity building activities.”
