The first-ever State of the World’s Migratory Species report was launched by the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS), a UN biodiversity treaty, at the opening of a major UN wildlife conservation conference (CMS COP14). The World’s Migratory Species report was released at the opening press conference of the 14th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS COP14) in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. The landmark report reveals: Some migratory species listed under CMS are improving, nearly half (44 percent) are showing population declines. More than one-in-five (22 percent) of CMS-listed species are threatened with extinction. Nearly all (97 percent) of CMS-listed fish are threatened with extinction. Globally, 399 migratory species that are threatened or near threatened with extinction are not currently listed under CMS.


      The report also investigated how many migratory species are at-risk but not covered by the Convention.

      It found 399 migratory species – mainly birds and fish, including many albatrosses and perching birds, ground sharks and stingrays – are categorised as threatened or near-threatened but are not yet CMS-listed.
