Trade in orchid across the
border must obtain Convention on International Trade in Endangered
Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) permission from the Ministry of
Environmental Conservation and Forestry, it was learnt by Eleven Media
Group. All species of orchid have been registered in the CITES list.
Trading of endangered species of Wild
Fauna and Flora are listed according to the Convention on International
Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora-CITES. This
Convention was formed in order to control extreme trading of Wild Fauna
and Flora around the world.
The aim of this Regulation is to ensure
the protection and conservation of endangered species of wild fauna and
flora, through the control of trade in these species by establishing
conditions for their importation, exportation or re-exportation, in
accordance with the CITES Convention.
As Myanmar is a member of CITES,
permission given by the local authority are needed for trading of
orchids. Eight orchid species are listed as endangered species,
according to CITES.
Trading of this species is prohibited
and remaining orchid species are listed as endangered species in future.
Trading is permitted if carried out according to rules and regulations.
