Goal 3
Goal 3
Threats affecting migratory species are eliminated or significantly reduced.
Targets
By 2032, any take, use and trade of migratory species listed in CMS Appendices is sustainable, safe and legal, overexploitation is prevented, risk of pathogen spillover is reduced and negative impacts on non-target species and their ecosystems are minimized. Explanation: Based on the best available knowledge and information, the main drivers of illegal and unsustainable take are identified and analysed for each migratory species to provide a basis for effective conservation and/or management actions, including cooperative actions beyond Range State jurisdictions. Interventions to effectively address the main drivers are undertaken in consultation with relevant stakeholders, indigenous peoples and local communities, and include protection measures for species listed in Appendix I through national legislation, comprehensive and effective enforcement, and management measures to halt illegal and unsustainable take. As a result, there should be no taking of any Appendix I species that is not in compliance with the Convention. Furthermore, steps will be taken towards eliminating any unsustainable take of Appendix II species and non-target CMS-listed migratory species that may also be affected, and towards reducing the risk of pathogen spillover to or from CMS-listed species to prevent the spread of zoonotic diseases.
By 2032, the direct mortality of migratory species caused by human- made infrastructure is significantly reduced to levels that are not harmful to species’ viability. Explanation: Steps are taken to eliminate and/or reduce the direct mortality of migratory species caused by infrastructure, including collision, electrocution, disturbance and migratory route deviation. This includes actions to sustainably design and operate such infrastructure and to monitor impacts while in operation.
By 2032, the negative impacts of pollution and poisoning on migratory species and their habitats are reduced to levels that are not harmful to species’ viability. Explanation: Actions are taken to quantify, monitor and reduce or eliminate the negative impacts of pollution from poisoning, artificial lights, chemicals, noise, plastics and other sources on migratory species and their habitats.
By 2032, the impact of climate change on migratory species and their habitats is reduced through mitigation and adaptation, including through nature-based solutions and/or ecosystem-based approaches and disaster risk reduction actions, while minimizing negative and fostering positive impacts on biodiversity. Explanation: Actions to eliminate or mitigate the negative impacts of climate change on migratory species are identified. This also includes the research and promotion of conservation and management tools applied to migratory species and the ecosystem services they provide, such as the enhancement of mitigation and adaptation against climate change.
By 2032, the negative impacts of invasive alien species on migratory species and their habitats are reduced or eliminated. Explanation: Actions are taken to understand, quantify and eliminate or reduce the negative impact of invasive alien species on migratory species and their habitats.

Target 1: Plan and Manage all Areas To Reduce Biodiversity Loss:
Ensure that all areas are under participatory, integrated and biodiversity inclusive spatial planning and/or effective management processes addressing land- and sea-use change, to bring the loss of areas of high biodiversity importance, including ecosystems of high ecological integrity, close to zero by 2030, while respecting the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities.
Target 5: Ensure Sustainable, Safe and Legal Harvesting and Trade of Wild Species:
Ensure that the use, harvesting and trade of wild species is sustainable, safe and legal, preventing overexploitation, minimizing impacts on non-target species and ecosystems, and reducing the risk of pathogen spillover, applying the ecosystem approach, while respecting and protecting customary sustainable use by indigenous peoples and local communities.
Target 6: Reduce the Introduction of Invasive Alien Species by 50% and Minimize Their Impact:
Eliminate, minimize, reduce and or mitigate the impacts of invasive alien species on biodiversity and ecosystem services by identifying and managing pathways of the introduction of alien species, preventing the introduction and establishment of priority invasive alien species, reducing the rates of introduction and establishment of other known or potential invasive alien species by at least 50 per cent by 2030, and eradicating or controlling invasive alien species, especially in priority sites, such as islands.
Target 7: Reduce Pollution to Levels That Are Not Harmful to Biodiversity:
Reduce pollution risks and the negative impact of pollution from all sources by 2030, to levels that are not harmful to biodiversity and ecosystem functions and services, considering cumulative effects, including: (a) by reducing excess nutrients lost to the environment by at least half, including through more efficient nutrient cycling and use; (b) by reducing the overall risk from pesticides and highly hazardous chemicals by at least half, including through integrated pest management, based on science, taking into account food security and livelihoods; and (c) by preventing, reducing, and working towards eliminating plastic pollution.
Target 8: Minimize the Impacts of Climate Change on Biodiversity and Build Resilience:
Minimize the impact of climate change and ocean acidification on biodiversity and increase its resilience through mitigation, adaptation, and disaster risk reduction actions, including through nature-based solutions and/or ecosystem-based approaches, while minimizing negative and fostering positive impacts of climate action on biodiversity.
Goal 11: Sustainable cities and communities:
Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.
Goal 12: Responsible consumption and production:
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.
Goal 13: Climate action:
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
Goal 14: Life below water:
Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development.
Goal 15: Life on land:
Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss
