The Secretariat of the Convention on Migratory Species is pleased to announce the release of the first draft of the Indicator Factsheets for the Strategic Plan for Migratory Species 2015-2023.

The draft was prepared by the CMS Strategic Plan Working Group, based on the relevant discussions held at the 3^rd Meeting of the Group (SPWG-3, October 2015) and subsequent expert discussions. 

The proposed structure aims to capture an approach to develop a small set of indicators, for each of the 16 Targets of the Strategic Plan,that should tell a coherent story about progress in the implementation of the Strategic Plan while taking into account real constraints regarding human, technical and financial resources to minimize the burden on Parties and/or the Secretariat. 

Views and contributions are requested by 31 August 2016, and should be emailed to [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected].

The draft factsheets, and further information, are available here.
