Visualizing how migratory animals connect continents, countries, sites and habitats is the result of an international scientific effort under the aegis of the CMS, in developing the first atlas of bird migration across three continents. CMS, an environmental UN treaty, will launch the Eurasian-African Bird Migration Atlas today at the Museum of Migration on the Italian island of Ventotene, as the first part of a broader initiative to develop a global atlas of animal migration.

On 26 July 2018, International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem, we would like to share a development regarding our mangrove manoeuvre. A team of remote sensing specialists and mangrove experts in Africa have developed the highest quality and most accurate mangrove maps ever produced for Africa. The maps are directly being applied to plan mangrove conservation and restoration field projects, and serve as a basis for a ‘restoration potential’ map.
