Bonn Convention

The Bonn Convention, officially known as the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS), is an international agreement aimed at protecting animals that migrate across borders, such as birds, whales, and turtles. It encourages countries to cooperate in conserving these species and their habitats, ensuring their populations remain healthy and sustainable. The convention provides a framework for governments to share information, develop joint conservation efforts, and implement measures to reduce threats like habitat loss, pollution, and illegal hunting. Overall, it promotes global teamwork to safeguard migratory species and their ecosystems.
