Over the past few weeks, I have been interviewing leaders from across the BirdLife International Partnership to get an insight into their world, find out what motivates them and what gives them hope for the future. First up is Hernán Casañas from Aves Argentinas.

Unsustainable take is the most prevalent threat to migratory birds, with consumption a key driver. But knowledge is limited, so we’re conducting a review for Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) with CIFOR & IUCN SULi

Please get in touch if you have relevant information (details below) - thank you!

#NatureKnowsNoBorders , and neither should environmental finance.

Conservation of migratory species is supported by many Global Environment Facility (GEF) projects and is deeply embedded in our biodiversity and transboundary cooperation programs.

I am excited to be in Samarkand for the #CMSCOP14

Every year, millions of seabirds are on the move. Many undertaking ocean basin wide migrations. 🌍

If you are attending #CMSCOP14 , be sure to check out our side-event on marine flyways for coordinated conservation action on migratory #seabirds !

Proud to have contributed to this key report to be launched here at #CMSCOP14 tomorrow! ⬇️
