Landscapes and seascapes around the world are being increasingly fragmented, degraded, and changed. Migratory species are among the most vulnerable to these impacts as they depend on networks of well-functioning natural areas throughout their life cycles. This was pointed out in the first-ever State of the World’s Migratory Species report, which identified habitat destruction, degradation, and fragmentation, along with overexploitation, as the main threats leading to the decline of migratory species populations globally. Now, with new and renewed commitments, countries are increasing their focus and activities to safeguard ecological connectivity within and beyond their borders.
