Echo patterns are similarity-based hypotheses, not proof of causation. Open the sources and evaluate the linkage yourself.

Evidence Scorecard

A single score cannot prove an echo. This card triangulates semantic, temporal, and linkage evidence.

Computed with intfloat/multilingual-e5-small multilingual embeddings. Display score is a calibrated mapping of the raw cross-lingual cosine (0.826); higher means closer meaning. Reflects semantic similarity, not proof of causation.

Aligned sentences

Original (Global)

The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) was concluded in Washington, D.C. on 3 March 1973 and entered into force on 1 July 1975. It regulates international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants through a system of import/export permits keyed to three Appendices (I species threatened with extinction, II species that may become so, III species protected at the request of a Party). The Republic of Korea acceded on 9 July 1993, with entry into force for Korea on 7 October 1993, designating a national CITES Management Authority (the environment ministry) responsible for issuing permits and certificates.

Echo (Korea)

대한민국은 1993년 7월 9일 CITES에 가입(1993.10.7. 발효)하였고, 2004년 「야생동·식물보호법」(법률 제7167호)으로 제정된 후 2011년 전부개정을 거쳐 현행 「야생생물 보호 및 관리에 관한 법률」(법률 제21126호, 2026.5.12. 시행)로 개칭된 법률을 통해 협약을 국내 이행하고 있다. 제16조는 국제적 멸종위기종 및 그 가공품을 수출·수입·반출·반입하려는 자가 기후에너지환경부장관(구 환경부장관)의 허가를 받도록 하고, 허가기준을 CITES 부속서 I·II·III에 따른 거래규제 및 종 생존 위협 금지에 직접 연계한다. 무허가 거래 시 제68조제1항제5호에 따라 3년 이하 징역 또는 300만원 이상 3천만원 이하 벌금, 수입 후 무단 용도변경은 제69조제1항제4호에 따라 2년 이하 징역 또는 2천만원 이하 벌금에 처한다. 주무기관은 기후에너지환경부(국립생물자원관 등)이다.
