What Convention on Migratory Species 1979 (Bonn Convention) - Appendix I-II Listed Species and Agreement Framework requires
The Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (Bonn Convention or CMS) was adopted on 23 June 1979 in Bonn, Germany and entered into force on 1 November 1983. It is an environmental treaty under the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) providing a global framework for the conservation of terrestrial, aquatic and avian migratory species and their habitats. Migratory species under threat of extinction are listed on Appendix I (currently approximately 175 species); Parties are obligated to provide strict protection of these animals. Migratory species needing or that would significantly benefit from international cooperation are listed on Appendix II (currently approximately 750 species); for these CMS encourages Parties to conclude global or regional Agreements. Approximately 30 Agreements and Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) operate under CMS framework including legally binding Agreements (e.g. ASCOBANS for small cetaceans of Baltic, AEWA for African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds, EUROBATS for European bats, ACCOBAMS for cetaceans of Black Sea/Mediterranean) and non-binding MoUs (e.g. Sharks MoU, Raptors MoU). 134 Parties to CMS as of 2024.
