I wasn't going to get involved with this but can someone explain this
Appendix I & what George refers to?

Appendix I of the CITES agreement lists tigers, rhino horns, elephant
tusks and so on and so forth as things that you may not trade. These
things are truly endangered. A couple of orchids are mentioned here.

Appendix II lists species that are easily mistaken for Appendix I
species, or that may be endangered in the near future. This appendix
lists most orchids, if I am not very much mistaken.
