Qatar Airways has extended its existing embargo on transporting hunting trophies to encompass all species identified by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) of Wild Fauna and Flora.



More than 35 000 species (over 5 000 animals and 30 000 plants) are protected under the CITES, among them great apes, the giant panda, many South American monkeys, cheetahs, lions, leopards, tigers, elephants and rhinoceroses.
