Practical information
- in order that the animal travel peacefully, we recommend that passengers administer, after consultation with a vet, a product to prevent the animal suffering from air sickness or any negative reaction during the flight,
- in order to avoid any unpleasant surprises, remember to find out about the regulations in force in your departure and arrival countries (vaccinations, quarantine, etc.).
The Washington Convention
Adopted in 1973, the Washington Convention prohibits or greatly restricts the international trade – and thus transport – of 5,000 animal species and 28,000 plant species that are either endangered or overexploited. International trade is therefore prohibited for many species (gorillas, elephants, sea turtles, coral, shells, plants, etc.), as well as for all derived products in all forms (food products, jewelry, tourist souvenirs, remedies, etc.). For other species, transport is highly regulated and always requires a CITES (Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species) permit.
The Washington Convention is currently in force in 175 countries, including France and its overseas departments and territories. The customs authorities in the signatory countries are responsible for enforcing the convention, notably in the airports.
