¹ Appendix III - CITES: cattle egret (Ardea ibis), great egret (Ardea alba), little egret (Egretta garzetta)

Appendix I^* of the Bonn Convention lists migratory species that are endangered. Appendix II^** lists migratory species that have an unfavourable conservation status and that require international agreements for their conservation and management, as well as those that have a conservation status that would benefit significantly from international co-operation and agreement.

Species listed on Appendix I of CITES include those threatened with extinction that are or may be affected by trade. Trade in specimens of these species is subject to particularly strict regulation in order not to endanger further their survival and can only be authorised in exceptional circumstances. Species listed on Appendix II include: (a) species which, although not necessarily now threatened with extinction, may become so unless trade in specimens of such species is subject to strict regulation in order to avoid utilisation incompatible with their survival; and (b) other species which must be subject to regulation in order that trade in specimens of certain species referred to in sub-paragraph (a) of this paragraph may be brought under effective control.
