Convention on Migratory Species

The Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) is an international treaty aimed at conserving animals that travel between different regions or countries, such as birds, whales, and butterflies. It encourages countries to work together to protect these species and their habitats, ensuring their populations remain healthy and sustainable. The CMS promotes cooperation, research, and policies to address threats like hunting, habitat loss, and pollution. By fostering global partnerships, it helps maintain the natural journeys of migratory species, benefiting ecosystems and biodiversity worldwide.
