Explanation: Parties play a key role in providing information at a national scale, but this can also be supported by the CMS Secretariat, through facilitation of the State of the World’s Migratory Species report and other knowledge products, if resources are available. The availability of this information is critical for decision-making and implementation of the CMS, its Resolutions and Decisions and associated guidance. Parties are able to understand and analyse the best available science and information on species, habitats and ranges in a way that enables them to prioritize and collaboratively take effective conservation action. 

Explanation: Parties commit to completing National Reports each triennium, and actively contribute to improving the National Reporting process to ensure the best available information on the state of implementation of the CMS mandate. This information is compiled and used for prioritization and adaptation of CMS initiatives for migratory species conservation. 

Explanation: Parties commit to use the best available science for decision-making and share information to ensure adequate implementation of the CMS mandate. Through the COP and its subsidiary bodies, Parties collaboratively ensure there is adequate monitoring of the implementation of the CMS mandate and agree to modify, improve or cancel existing initiatives based on best available science, with the aim of increasing their efficiency and impact, taking into account the knowledge of Indigenous People and Local Communities.

Explanation: Parties undertake actions, with the support of the CMS Secretariat, that increase the international recognition of the importance of migratory species, their habitats and the ecosystem services they provide. 

Explanation: Parties undertake actions, with the support of the CMS Secretariat, that increase the international recognition of the role of CMS, and its contribution to the strategic goals of other multilateral environmental agreements, IGOs, NGOs and CMS stakeholders.
