| Migratory
species are essential components of the ecosystems that support
all life on earth. They play an important role in many local
and global economies and have great significance in many cultures.
As the pressure on these animal species steadily increases,
mainly due to human-made threats and obstacles to migration,
many of them are threatened with extinction. CMS is the only
global convention dealing comprehensively with all aspects
of the conservation of migratory species and the habitats
on which they depend.
On this website you will find a wide range of documents
related to CMS: background information, news, official documents
as well as information on all agreements that have been
concluded under its auspices.
