On the heels of India's intervention on Thursday suggesting restrictions on captive tiger farming in countries like China, a working group based on this suggestion was formed, which met at the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) on Friday.

"The working group consists of India, US, China, WWF, European Union and the CITES Secretariat,' said Dr Susan S Lieberman, Director, Species Programme WWF-International, and member of the Working Group, speaking from Geneva to The Indian Express.
