Endangered Species Compromise

Listen Thursday, Jun. 14, 2007 at 1:43 p.m. in Economy, Politics

It's taken three weeks of heated negotiations for conservation groups and members of the international community to reach a compromise on the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). We'll find out what protections are provided to elephants, whales, tigers, and sharks -- and why you'll soon see limited LEGAL ivory sales despite the worldwide ivory ban.
