What is a migratory Species
under CMS?
“Significant proportion” of the population of a species
crosses national jurisdictional boundaries “cyclically and
predictably” or “periodically”
![Page 7: First global agreement for the conservation of migratory ... · Aquatic Warbler Bukhara Deer Dugong Great Bustard High Andean Flamingo Marine Turtles Africa IOSEA Mediterranean Monk](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050507/5f9851cb11d92710de314083/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Migratory Species
![Page 8: First global agreement for the conservation of migratory ... · Aquatic Warbler Bukhara Deer Dugong Great Bustard High Andean Flamingo Marine Turtles Africa IOSEA Mediterranean Monk](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050507/5f9851cb11d92710de314083/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Threats to Migratory Species
Habitat loss
• Degradation
• Fragmentation
Barriers to migration
• Dams
• Fences
• Transport infrastructure
• Energy infrastructure
Overexploitation
• Hunting & fishing
• Bycatch
Threatening processes
• Climate change
• Wildlife diseases
• Desertification
• Alien invasive species
• Pollution
• Underwater noise
![Page 9: First global agreement for the conservation of migratory ... · Aquatic Warbler Bukhara Deer Dugong Great Bustard High Andean Flamingo Marine Turtles Africa IOSEA Mediterranean Monk](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050507/5f9851cb11d92710de314083/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Why do migratory Species
need special protection?
• One country alone cannot conserve a species crossing international borders
• Migratory species must be conserved throughout their entire range
�An international approach is needed
![Page 10: First global agreement for the conservation of migratory ... · Aquatic Warbler Bukhara Deer Dugong Great Bustard High Andean Flamingo Marine Turtles Africa IOSEA Mediterranean Monk](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050507/5f9851cb11d92710de314083/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Which Species are protected?
Appendix I: Endangered Species
• In danger of extinction in all or most of their range
• Taking prohibited
(exceptions: e.g. science, breeding & traditional
subsistence usage)
Appendix II
• Unfavourable conservation status, or
• Would benefit significantly from an international
Agreement
![Page 11: First global agreement for the conservation of migratory ... · Aquatic Warbler Bukhara Deer Dugong Great Bustard High Andean Flamingo Marine Turtles Africa IOSEA Mediterranean Monk](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050507/5f9851cb11d92710de314083/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Favourable Conservation
Status
“favourable conservation status" if:
o population dynamics data indicate that migratory sharks are sustainable on a long term basis as a viable component of their ecosystems
o the distributional range and habitats of migratory sharks are not currently being reduced, nor are they likely to be reduced in the future to levels that affect the viability of their populations in the long term
o the abundance and structure of populations of migratory sharks remains at levels adequate to maintain ecosystem integrity
![Page 12: First global agreement for the conservation of migratory ... · Aquatic Warbler Bukhara Deer Dugong Great Bustard High Andean Flamingo Marine Turtles Africa IOSEA Mediterranean Monk](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050507/5f9851cb11d92710de314083/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
