The Species Survival Network first provided the CITES Secretariat with a list of resources for the placement of live confiscated fauna in 2002 (CITES Notification No. 2002/074). This list was updated and distributed by the CITES Secretariat in December 2007 (CITES Notification No. 2007/049) and forms the basis of the directory contained on these pages.

CITES Resolution Conf. 10.7 on Disposal of confiscated live specimens of species included in the Appendices provides recommendations and guidance to the Parties on seized and/or confiscated live specimens. SSN is confident that the Parties and their enforcement agencies will consider SSN's list of resources a vital tool to assist them when dealing with the detention or disposal of live animals that have been seized.

Please note that not all of these facilities or organizations have been visited by SSN Members and therefore, inclusion in this list does not represent endorsement by SSN. The list contained on these pages is continually updated. If you have any changes, please contact SSN directly at info@ssn.org.
