Appendix I lists and protects all wild flora and fauna species that are threatened with extinction so that they are prohibited from all forms of international trade. Meanwhile, Appendix II contains a list of Appendix II that are not threatened with extinction, but may be threatened with extinction if the trade in these species is not controlled.

The state must be responsible for the preservation of protected animals. Indonesian national laws regarding the protection of wild animals as well as endangered species should be maximized by conducting socialization to the public. The perpetrators of trade in protected wildlife must be given appropriate punishment and the need for a firm attitude from the government towards those who trade in animals in order to provide a deterrent effect for the perpetrators
