Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals Secretariat provided by the United Nations Environment Programme 14 th MEETING OF THE CMS SCIENTIFIC COUNCIL Bonn, Germany, 14-17 March 2007 CMS/ScC14/Doc.26 LIST OF RANGE STATES OF MIGRATORY SPECIES INCLUDED IN THE CMS APPENDICES 1. The present list has been compiled by the UNEP/CMS Secretariat, in accordance with Article IX, paragraph 4f), of the Convention, based on information obtained from Parties and supplemented by other sources. Species added to the Appendices by the Conference of the Parties (Bonn: 1985, Geneva: 1988 and 1991, Nairobi: 1994, Geneva: 1997, Cape Town: 1999, Bonn: 2002, Nairobi: 2005), have been included. 2. The term “Range State” used in the present context has the same meaning as defined in Article I, paragraph I, of the Convention: “... f) “Range” means all the areas of land or water that a migratory species inhabits, stays in temporarily, crosses or overflies at any time on its normal migration route; ... h) “Range State” in relation to a particular migratory species means any State (and where appropriate any other Party referred to under sub-paragraph (k) of this paragraph) that exercises jurisdiction over any part of the range of that migratory species, or a State, flag vessels of which are engaged outside national jurisdictional limits in taking that migratory species; ... (k) “Party” means a State or any regional economic integration organisation constituted by sovereign States which has competence in respect of the negotiation, conclusion and application of international agreements in matters covered by this Convention for which this Convention is in force.” 3. The present list serves the following purposes: • to assist the Parties in determining whether they are Range States in the sense of the above definitions; • to assist the Conference of the Parties in making recommendations to the Parties for improving the conservation status of migratory species and reviewing the progress being made under Agreements; and • to provide the basic information necessary for the Scientific Council to consider, recommend or coordinate appropriate conservation measures to the Conference of the Parties for the species listed in Appendices I and II. 4. In order to maintain an up-to-date list, Parties are required under Article VI, paragraph 2, of the Convention to keep the Secretariat informed in regard to which of the migratory species listed in Appendices I and II they consider themselves to be Range States, including provision of information on their flag vessels engaged outside national jurisdiction or limits in taking the migratory species concerned and, where possible, future plans in respect of such taking. For reasons of economy, documents are printed in a limited number, and will not be distributed at the meeting. Delegates are kindly requested to bring their copy to the meeting and not to request additional copies. Notes 1. Place names appearing in the list correspond to those used in the United Nations Terminology Bulletin No. 347/Rev.1 (United Nations, 1997), as amended, and the ISO 3166 International Standard (International Organisation for Standardisation, 1988), as amended. A number of country names have been inverted to facilitate reference, as follows: Congo, Democratic Republic of the; Korea, Democratic Republic of; Korea, Republic of; Macedonia, the former Yugoslav Republic of; Moldova, Republic of; Tanzania, United Republic of. A number of abbreviated names have been used, in accordance with the above: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (United Kingdom); and United States of America (United States). 2. The designations employed and the presentation of the material in this list do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Secretariat concerning the legal status of any country, territory, or area, or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. 1 3. The names of Range States that are Parties to the Convention as at 1 February 2004 are shown in capitals: e.g., ALBANIA. If a CMS Party has entered a reservation with respect to a particular species, its name appears in normal, underlined type: e.g., Norway . 4. Where appropriate, dependant territories, overseas departments, provinces, states etc. appear in parentheses following the name of the State concerned, according to the following convention. The entry “UNITED KINGDOM (Montserrat)” indicates that only the island of Montserrat, and not the mainland, is to be considered part of the range of a particular species. Conversely, the entry “UNITED KINGDOM (including Montserrat)” indicates that the range encompasses mainland United Kingdom as well as the island of Montserrat. If the Convention does not apply to a dependant territory, overseas department etc. of a Party, the entry is shown in normal type: for example, “Denmark (Greenland)”. 5. “(?)” after a country listing denotes unconfirmed sightings. 6. “(Ex)” after a country listing denotes that the taxon is extinct in that country. Some species have only recently disappeared from those countries; if individuals recover in number they may still return to parts of their former range. For this reason, these countries are also included in the list. 7. Reference to “international waters” indicates migration of a species in or above the sea or oceans beyond the limits of national jurisdiction, which falls within the substantive scope of the Convention, pursuant to Article I, paragraphs 1f) and h). The text in parentheses indicates the specific regions of these waters in which migration takes place. 8. The list does not distinguish different categories of known usage and occurrence. Therefore, many of the countries listed as Range States for certain species, e.g. Numenius tenuirostris, have been identified as such based on records of vagrancy rather than established patterns of migration, according to the information available. 9. For Aves in Appendix II, Range States have been listed only for individual species or for taxa that include a small number of species; Range States will be specified for taxa with larger numbers of species when Agreements for particular species or groups of species are negotiated. 1 A dispute exists between the Governments of Argentina and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland concerning sovereignty over the Falkland Islands (Malvinas), South Georgia, South Sandwich Islands and their surrounding marine areas. 2 References CITES 1988.
