Arctic Tracker

Trade, catch and conservation-status data for 43 CITES-listed Arctic species. Each species has its own page: trade, catch, listing history and assessments. Explore by class, Red List category or CITES appendix, with trade and seizure records.

The purpose of this tool is to allow us to explore the impacts of CITES listing and subsequent trade restrictions on a species' conservation status. Does a CITES listing impact on a species' conservation status, and if so, how?
