Read more: cms.int/en/news/histor…

Cheering #CMSCOP14 for their Resolution!
“...Urges Parties not to engage in or support deep-seabed mineral exploitation activities until sufficient and robust [science is] obtained to ensure [it] does not cause [harm] to migratory species, their prey and their ecosystems.”

Pallas’s Cat is now protected under the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) as agreed at #CMSCOP14 🐾 This will facilitate increased #ConservationAction at the national and regional levels.

Congrats to KAZ who initiated & UZB who supported the proposal 🙌 #NatureKnowsNoBorders #MigratorySpecies
