Background
The Strategic Plan Working Group decided
that the 2015-2023 Strategic Plan would cover migratory
species in general and thus:
- Focus on the issue, not the CMS instruments;
- Support the entire CMS Family of instruments; and
- Encourage efforts by all towards the conservation of
migratory species.
In addition to supporting CMS instruments, the Strategic
Plan for Migratory Species will therefore also serve as
a guiding framework for all those working towards conserving
migratory species.
The new Strategic Plan will be based on the approach used
in the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011 – 2020
and its Aichi Targets, which reaches out to everyone working
to conserve and sustainably use biodiversity.
By using this approach, the Strategic Plan for Migratory
Species will, in particular:
- Benefit from the existing political visibility and support
for biodiversity in general, at national, regional and
global levels;
- Highlight how conservation of migratory species will
contribute to the delivery of the Aichi Biodiversity Targets
and how those Targets in turn will contribute to the objectives
for conserving migratory species;
- Tap into existing supporting mechanisms (e.g. on capacity
building, NBSAP revisions, Aichi Target 20 on resource
mobilization, and activities in the UN Decade for Biodiversity
(UN General Assembly Resolution 65/161));
- Develop targets specific to migratory species, using
the Aichi Targets as guidance without being restricted
by them, so as to retain migratory species’ identity
and added-value.
