The “State of the World’s Migratory Species – 2024 Report” presents a critical and comprehensive assessment of the conservation status and population trends of migratory species globally. Launched by the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species (CMS) under the UN, the report reveals alarming statistics: nearly half of the migratory species are in decline, with a significant number threatened with extinction. Key threats include overexploitation, habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. The report highlights the urgent need for global conservation efforts, emphasizing the role of migratory species in maintaining ecosystem balance and advocating for the protection of key biodiversity areas.
