In the context of the Flyways in the Americas meetings held at the OAS headquarters in Washington D.C. in January 2014 and in Jamaica in March 2014, the Western Hemisphere Migratory Species Initiative (WHMSI) has convened a side event in the framework of the 11th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties to CMS. Americas’ Flyways seeks to harmonize the conservation efforts of governments and all relevant partners and stakeholders to ensure active cooperation among migratory bird instruments, initiatives and partnerships; assess and mitigate significant barriers to migration; foster the conservation of high priority networks of sites and habitats; mitigate impacts of climate change on migratory bird species; enhance and strengthen monitoring; help guide funding to priority needs; and empower local communities to conserve their resources.
The side event will present the Americas Flyways Framework (brief background, and what it seeks to achieve and how), and the Atlantic Flyway Shorebird Business Plan and Partners in Flight as examples of initiatives that can act as an international delivery mechanism for part of the Framework.
