Name one international treaty regarding wildlife.

• A. Migratory Bird Act
• B. Endangered Species Act
• C. CITES
• D. Ramsar Convention

Answer: (A)

International wildlife treaties are agreements between countries that set rules to protect species and manage their trade across borders. A classic example is CITES, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. It unites many nations to regulate or ban trade in species at risk, using listed appendices that specify which animals or plants are protected and what permits are needed for cross-border movement. That’s what makes it a true international treaty: its obligations and enforcement involve multiple countries working together.

By contrast, wildlife protections can also be implemented through national laws such as the Endangered Species Act or the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which are laws within a country rather than international agreements. The Ramsar Convention is another international treaty, focused on protecting wetlands that support wildlife. So, naming one international treaty, CITES is a clear and widely recognized example.
