Our online courses
Welcome to the BfN and TRAFFIC online courses for CITES Non-detriment Findings for timber and perennial plants
How to use these courses
These courses have been built to mirror the content contained in the current PDF 9-Step Guidelines.
A variety of tests, case studies, and interactive content will guide you through the 9-Steps needed to reach a science-based NDF decision. The courses will explain how you can simultaneously use our interactive Decision Trees to complete the accompanying case study, or even use it as the basis for your own NDF.
Please note that at this time, you won’t be able to save your progress throughout the courses, but you can navigate freely between lessons and modules. If you’re unable to complete the course in one go, just remember where you got to! We will be adding save functionality in the near future. Until that time, the courses are currently hosted via traffic.org.
