Paper 3
Revise: Global Actions for Rainforest Protection: CITES and REDDCITES controls international trade in species, while REDD gives financial incentives to protect forests.
Do not describe CITES as a ban on all wildlife trade: it restricts international trade in listed species.
Keep the distinction clear: CITES targets trade in species; REDD provides incentives to protect forest areas.
