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.
