Is there anything that prevents countries from capture endangered animals for aquarium display?

I know CITES prevents international trade of endangered animals, but is there anything that prevents local capture?

Update:

I am not talking about the US here.

    Sad thing is the lack of enforcement or even awareness of who is carrying out this illicit activity. We are lucky to have national, state, and private preserves and parks. However, it is virtually impossible to outfit each with the level of security and monitoring required to prevent poaching.

    nicely, first, we would desire to stop removing habitats. We decrease down such multiple timber known, and we don't comprehend that we are removing homes or perhaps nutrients. An occasion is Pandas. We eliminate their bamboo for ornamental purposes and different motives, and now they don't have adequate nutrients, as a result endangering them. a manner we could stop that from happening and getting people to stop removing forests is to tutor people. I certainly have discovered lots so some distance at school, and that i'm already a tree hugger. yet another element we could do is get the goverment to create greater organic international sanctuarys. in basic terms incase some people do not understand what it is, that could be a interior sight the place poachers and hunters can't kill animals, and people can't decrease down timber. Who knows, in keeping with danger sooner or later organic international sanctuarys may be the only place left for animals to stay, and the only place to work out timber. yet another element is to stop identifying to purchase furs or ivory(tusks) and skins. those are all animal products, and people who kill the animals generaly think of that folk might fairly than having tiger fur, decide on white tiger fur. What I mean is they think of that folk might fairly have uncommon fur. If sales stop, then in keeping with danger, in basic terms in keeping with danger, poaching can stop. that's an exellent subject remember since's coaching multiple people by way of exposure. in keeping with danger even posting greater questions like this might help the international a smidge. i for my section wish that we could make up for each and all the flaws we've finished to the atmosphere. Sincerly, Jocelyn Z.

    Yes. There are all kinds of laws that prohibit taking of endangered species. It is not a country that violates these laws. It is the selfish greedy people that live within countries that refuse to enforce the laws.
