#WildlifeAcrossBorders #MigratorySpecies
As #CMSCOP15 continues, the message is clear: #MigratorySpecies need more than isolated protection. They need connected habitats, coordinated policy and action across borders.
With 24% of CMS-listed species globally threatened, cooperation cannot be optional.

At #CMSCOP15, the saiga antelope’s population recovery was held up as a “powerful example” of synergies delivering real results for conservation, as parties advance resolutions to strengthen partnerships across conventions and with civil society. #ConnectingNature @cms.int #migratoryspecies
As #CMSCOP15 began in Campo Grande, the city known as 🇧🇷 Brazil's gateway to the Pantanal wetland, parties began to discuss how to best protect such important #migratoryspecies habitats—and "rekindle the light of multilateralism" while at it

Forests are vital for #migratoryspecies, from bats to African forest elephants and the Eurasian lynx. 🦇
The #InternationalDayofForests reminds us that ecological connectivity and habitat protection and restoration must be central to migratory species conservation. 🌲🌳
#ForestDay #CMSCOP15
CMS is the international treaty that brings countries together to safeguard species that move across borders - from birds and bats to whales and sharks 🪶🦇🐋🦈
It plays a vital role in coordinating action across continents.

Upcoming 📣
This month at the Convention on Migratory Species of Wild Animals COP15, delegates will meet in Brazil to discuss a full agenda on slowing and reversing the declines of the #migratoryspecies that cross human borders in their travels

#CMSCOP15
The countdown has started! One month till #CMSCOP15, where governments + partners will advance coordinated action to safeguard #MigratorySpecies across borders.
With 42 migratory species proposed for inclusion under CMS, COP15 will spotlight aquatic, avian & terrestrial wildlife: www.cms.int/cop15
The African wild ass is the most endangered wild equid in the world. 🐴
The species’ numbers are declining due to climate change and human and livestock impacts.
At #CMSCOP15, more #MigratorySpecies will be considered for international conservation measures. Learn more: www.cms.int/news/42-amen...
Migratory species need freedom and safety to move across borders, find food and rest, and reach their breeding grounds.
When we safeguard them and their habitats, we support journeys that keep nature connected and help sustain life.

Key finding #1: Nearly half of all CMS-listed migratory species overlap proposed mining zones.
Whales, dolphins, turtles, sharks, rays, eels, seabirds: many cross directly through areas that could see extraction.

🇨🇦’s Western University hosts the Centre for Animals on the Move—a hub for cutting-edge research on #birdmigration.
Using real-time data on weather, ecosystems, and biodiversity loss, they’re uncovering vital clues about the impacts of #ClimateChange on #Migratoryspecies
What are the impacts of offshore wind energy developments on marine migratory species, such as whales, porpoises, seals and fish?

The report notes,
“The expansion of agriculture to meet the demands of growing human populations is a key driver of the habitat loss, degradation & fragmentation that affects many #migratoryspecies. About 46% of the world’s terrestrial land surface (habitable by humans) is agricultural land.”
Hello, BlueSky! 🌍🐾

As freezing rain fell on #CMSCOP14, delegates deftly negotiated the slippery terrain of #deepseamining, the new Strategic Plan for #MigratorySpecies, and the budget.
As CMS Executive Secretary Fraenkel put it, the result was "the best COP ever."
