The first "State of the World's Migratory Species Report" has been released by the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS), also known as the Bonn Convention. CMS is an environmental treaty of the United Nations that provides a global platform for the conservation and sustainable use of terrestrial, aquatic and avian migratory animals and their habitats. The report calls for increased actions to identify, protect, connect, and effectively manage important sites for migratory species.
The report finds that the destruction, degradation and fragmentation of natural habitat is one of the two greatest threats to migratory species of wild animals.
