Working Group
• Current CMS Strategic Plan (2006-2014);
• Res10.5: Future Strategic Plan for 2015-2023;
• Strategic Plan Working Group (SPWG), regional representatives of the Parties;
• Draft Plan by CMS COP11 in 2014;
SPWG decided to link closely with overall efforts towards supporting implementation of the Biodiversity Strategic Plan & its Aichi Targets, while still retaining migratory species’ identity and added-value

Main Characteristics of the Plan
For migratory species as defined by the Convention;
Overarching framework for all efforts to conserve migratory species;
Identify and demonstrate the relevance of Aichi Targets for migratory species, and vice versa;
Provide overall targets for migratory species while allowing further tailoring to specific CMS instruments through sub-targets.

Twin Track
• (1) Strategic Plan – Short, focused for overall guidance;– Long-term/high-level outcomes;– Generate political support and visibility.
• (2) Companion Guide for Implementation. – Guidance for implementation;– Support for CMS Parties - resources, capacity building and
technical assistance.– Recognize contributions and responsibilities of others.
Also, it is important, to integrate migratory species into National Biodiversity Strategies and Action
Plans (NBSAPs).

Importance of the consultation process
• To develop a strong and realistic Plan.
• Ensure involvement of all Parties and other stakeholders.
• Reflect needs and views of the entire CMS Family.
• Raise awareness of the Plan’s relevance for the implementation of the Biodiversity Strategic Plan.
• Ensure support throughout the biodiversity community.
