The Jeypore ground gecko (Cyrtodactylus jeyporensis), an endemic reptile of India, has been included in Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).
It is a wild reptile species endemic to India.
It is a rare species and was first described in 1878 by Colonel Richard Henry Beddom, a British officer and naturalist.
It was rediscovered by a team of researchers in 2011 after a gap of over 130 years.
The animals listed under Appendix II may not necessarily be threatened with extinction, but trade in such species should be controlled to ensure it does not threaten their existence.
