About the Western Hemisphere Migratory Species Initiative

Western Hemispheric Migratory Species Initiative (WHMSI)

 

WHMSI is building country capacity to conserve and manage migratory wildlife.  It improves hemispheric communication on conservation issues of common interest, provides training in priority areas, strengthens the exchange of information needed for informed decision-making, and provides a forum to address emerging issues such as new threats to migratory species, or the connections between wildlife disease and human diseases.
