Parties and Non-Parties

As of 1 March 2022 the Convention on Migratory Species has 133 Parties (132 countries, plus the European Union). One country signed the original Convention but has yet to ratify it so is not a Party (Jamaica - annotated as "Sig" in the list below). Several countries although not Party to the Convention are Party to one or more of the Agreements and/or have signed one or more of the MOUs; these countries are annotated "AM" in the list below.

Further to the list of Party and Non-Party Range States below, please take note of this overview of the Application of CMS to Overseas Territories/Autonomous Regions of Parties and Reservations regarding species in the CMS Appendices.
