As world governments gathered in Uzbekistan Monday for the United Nations conference on migratory species, they centered the theme 'Nature Knows No Borders'—an idea that a new landmark report said must take hold across the globe to push policymakers in all countries and regions to protect the billions of animals that travel each year to reproduce and find food.
According to the report, nearly 10,000 of the world's key biodiversity areas are crucial for the survival of migratory species, but more than half are not designated as areas that must be conserved—and 58% are under threat due to human activities.Mapping and taking adequate steps to protect 'the vital locations that serve as breeding, feeding, and stopover sites for migratory species' is a key priority, said the CMS in a statement.
