According to the first UN expert assessment, more than a fifth of migratory species under international protection are threatened with extinction, including nearly all nomadic fish.
From humpback whales to Dalmatian pelicans, billions of animals journey with the seasons over oceans, on land and in the skies each year.

The assessment of migratory animals under protection from the treaty found that 22% of the 1,189 CMS-listed species are threatened with extinction, and nearly half, 44%, are showing population declines, with many under unsustainable pressure from habitat loss and overexploitation.
