Our Mission:
Conservation of Global Animal Migrations

Migratory animals are essential components of the ecosystems that support all life on Earth. By acting as pollinators and seed distributors they contribute to ecosystem structure and function. They provide food for other animals and regulate the number of species in ecosystems. Migratory animals are potentially very effective indicators of environmental changes that affect us all.

As a United Nations environmental treaty, we provide a global platform for the conservation and sustainable use of migratory animals and their habitats.
