ABSTRACT
The article offers several information related to the commonly misconceived ideas that resulted to confusion about the respective roles of Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The listing categories of CITES and ESA were misconceived to be the same. Other misconceptions include the idea that CITES only protects endangered species and wild specimens.
