What current measures are in place to help conserve migratory raptors?
Current conservation and management measures for these migratory species include varying levels of domestic protection in a number of range states. In addition, there are eleven international agreements which have the potential to help improve the conservation status of raptors. These include broad ecosystem/environment agreements such as the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the Climate Change Convention, and the Convention to Combat Desertification. In addition, some species are given protection under nature conservation agreements, such as the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS), and the Bern Convention.
