Abstract The CITES Trade Database aims to be the largest public dataset regarding the wildlife trade in the world, providing data for the monitoring and conservation of taxa. Nevertheless, its use is associated with complications resulting from the aggregation of confidential primary shipment records. An overview of data handling and data utilization methods is provided in light of the new non-public data. Although Pavitt et al. (2018) reported some more detailed insights into data processing, they still did not provide any way to correctly calculate the volume of trade in endangered plant and animal species.

了解 CITES 贸易数据库的重要步骤：对 Pavitt 等人的回复。

摘要 CITES贸易数据库旨在成为世界上最大的野生动物贸易公共数据集，为分类群的监测和保护提供数据。然而，它的使用与机密主要运输记录的聚合导致的复杂性有关。针对新的非公开数据，提供了数据处理和数据利用方法的概述。尽管帕维特等人。(2018) 报告了对数据处理的一些更详细的见解，但他们仍然没有提供任何方法来正确计算濒危动植物物种的贸易量。
