• AIM :
• It aims to conserve terrestrial, marine and avian migratory species throughout their
range.
• It lays the legal foundation to conduct conservation measures on a global scale

formal MoU
Convention on Migratory Species
• A species or lower taxon of wild animals of which the entire population or any
geographically separate part of the population cyclically and predictably
cross one or more national jurisdictional boundaries.
• ‘cyclically’ relates to a cycle of any nature.
• ‘predictably’ implies that a phenomenon can be anticipated to recur in
a given set of circumstances
FlywayS
• The two greatest threats to both CMS-listed and all migratory species are
overexploitation and habitat loss due to human activity.
• Three out of four CMS-listed species are impacted by habitat loss,
degradation and fragmentation, and seven out of ten CMS-listed species
are impacted by overexploitation.
• Climate change, pollution and invasive species are also having profound
impacts on migratory species.
• While some migratory species listed under CMS are improving, nearly half
(44 per cent) are showing population declines.
