UNEP/CMS and Global
Nature Fund have a lot in common: nowhere the
necessity of intact living spaces for the survival
of migratory animals becomes more evident than
in lake regions. The protection of migratory
species connects the "Living" Lakes” of
the world: Many thousands of Wilson's phalaropes
migrate from Mono Lake, California to Mar Chiquita
in Argentina or a huge number of different
duck species fly from Lake Constance to Lake
La Nava, Spain.

Therefore, on November 20th 2005,
UNEP/CMS and GNF signed a partnership agreement
acknowledging that UNEP/CMS and GNF pursue common
goals in the conservation of ecosystems and the
protection of migratory species, which can only
be successfully met by enhanced and concerted
actions on different levels and between all sectors;
and realizing that activities undertaken by GNF,
especially relating to wetland conservation such
as the Living Lakes Network, concern migratory
species and issues that also are covered by UNEP/CMS
or its Agreements.
