The 14th meeting of the Scientific Council of the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) convened from 15-17 March 2007, in Bonn, Germany.
The Council reviewed progress in relation to its Strategy Implementation Plan for 2006-2011 and agreed that, while significant progress has been made in some activities, the challenges posed by the Strategic Plan require a renewed effort. In this regard, the meeting established intersessional working groups on climate change and migratory species, by-catch, sustainable use, and animal diseases. The Council also considered the status and future prospects of the CMS Small Grants Programme to support conservation and research activities, and made a strong plea for securing adequate funding for the programme. Finally, the meeting suggested several species suitable for listing on the CMS Appendices across various taxonomic groups.
