The Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (also known as CMS or Bonn Convention) aims to conserve terrestrial, marine and avian migratory species throughout their range. It is an intergovernmental treaty, concluded under the aegis of the United Nations Environment Programme, concerned with the conservation of wildlife and habitats on a global scale.

Since the Convention's entry into force, its membership has grown steadily to include 109 (as of 1 August 2008) Parties from Africa, Central and South America, Asia, Europe and Oceania.
