TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review approaches taken to regulate wildlife trade in CITES, and argue that interventions should go beyond regulation and should be multi-faceted, reflecting the complexity of wildlife trade, and that an intensive research effort is needed around six key areas: (1) factors undermining wildlife trade governance at the national level, (2) determining sustainable harvest rates for, and adaptive management of CICTES species, (3) gaining the buy-in of local communities, (4) supply and demand based market interventions, (5) means of quantifying
