  1. Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (UNEP/CMS) Development of a Strategic Plan for Migratory Species 2015 – 2023 Supporting implementation of the Biodiversity Strategic Plan & Aichi Biodiversity Targets

  2. Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) • What is CMS? • Why do Migratory Species Matter? • What are Threats to Migratory Species? • Why is CMS needed? • How Does CMS Operate? • Agreements • MOUs • Appendices

  3. Working Group • Current CMS Strategic Plan (2006-2014); • Res10.5: Future Strategic Plan for 2015-2023; • Strategic Plan Working Group (SPWG), regional representatives of the Parties; • Draft Plan by CMS COP11 in 2014; SPWG decided to link closely with overall efforts towards supporting implementation of the Biodiversity Strategic Plan & its Aichi Targets, while still retaining migratory species’ identity and added-value

  4. Main Characteristics of the Plan • For migratory species as defined by the Convention; • Overarching framework for all efforts to conserve migratory species; • Identify and demonstrate the relevance of Aichi Targets for migratory species, and vice versa; • Provide overall targets for migratory species while allowing further tailoring to specific CMS instruments through sub-targets.

  5. Twin Track • (1) Strategic Plan • Short, focused for overall guidance; • Long-term/high-level outcomes; • Generate political support and visibility. • (2) Companion Guide for Implementation. • Guidance for implementation; • Support for CMS Parties - resources, capacity building and technical assistance. • Recognize contributions and responsibilities of others. Also, it is important, to integrate migratory species into National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs).

  6. Second Draft Plan available now • Comments by 30 June 2014 – Plan in English, French and Spanish on CMS web pagewww.cms.int • Presents proposed Goals and Targets for migratory species, based closely on the Aichi Biodiversity Targets. • For all migratory species as defined by the CMS - a guiding framework for all work supporting the conservation of migratory species.

  7. Importance of the consultation process • To develop a strong and realistic Plan. • Ensure involvement of all Parties and other stakeholders. • Reflect needs and views of the entire CMS Family. • Raise awareness of the Plan’s relevance for the implementation of the Biodiversity Strategic Plan. • Ensure support throughout the biodiversity community.

  8. Next Steps • Mid 2014 Presentation to CMS Standing Committee; • Late 2014 Presentation to CMS COP11
