Frequently Asked Questions Partnership For Action Against Wildlife Crime | Frequently Asked Questions Q. What does captive-bred mean? A. CITES provisions relating to this are very strict. To be considered as captive-bred, a bird or animal must be what is termed 'second generation' (F2). This is not as simple as it may sound. If a person mates a male and female taken from the wild, the offspring will not be captive-bred. However, if males and females from such offspring subsequently mate, then their offspring will be captive-bred because they will be considered to be 'second generation'. False declarations of species having been captive-bred or artificially propagated is the second most common type of CITES fraud. It is recommended that advice is sought from the Management and Scientific Authorities when trying to establish whether a specimen meets captive-bred definitions. PAW-FAQs 1) Can I join PAW?
