CMS CoP15 policy briefing
As governments convene for the Convention on Migratory Species COP15 in Brazil this March 2026, IFAW urges decisive action to protect migratory species and the ecosystems they support. This briefing outlines our key policy recommendations, including tackling bycatch and vessel strikes, addressing underwater noise, protecting critical habitats, and strengthening ecological connectivity across borders. It also highlights the important role migratory species play in sustaining healthy ecosystems and contributing to climate solutions. We encourage Parties to use this moment to advance coordinated action that secures a future where animals and people thrive together.
The briefing is also available in Spanish.
