Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals
The convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS), in force since 1983, is the only global convention focussed on the conservation of migratory species, their habitats and their migration routes. CMS establishes obligations for all States Members of the Convention and promotes concerted action among the Range States of many endangered migratory species and encourages those States to create further global or regional agreements. The CMS thus acts as a framework convention.
