Migratory species are a significant component of biodiversity in general, underpinning ecological systems.
More Definitions of Migratory species
Migratory species means a species whose range includes any part of the Islands but which only occurs or occurs primarily in the Islands seasonally or during its migration;
Migratory species means the entire population or any geographically separate part of the population of any species or lower taxon of wild animals, a significant proportion of whose members cyclically and predictably cross one or more national jurisdictional boundaries; This definition of migration is accordingly tied to the concept of nation. A migration generally occurs when the animal moves from one nation to another or others. It is a fundamental principle of the Convention, recorded in Article II, that the parties acknowledge the importance of migratory species being conserved and that necessary steps are taken to conserve the species and their habitat. 4.4.2 Habitat and range of migratory species For the purposes of the Convention, habitat is defined as follows: g) “Habitat” means any area in the range of a migratory species which con- tains suitable living conditions for that species; Whilst the following definition is provided for range: 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; On a complete reading of the Convention it is apparent that the term habitat is not intended to be used to describe flight paths of migratory birds, even though the definition of habitat refers to an area which contains “suitable living conditions”. The definition of range distinguishes between inhabiting an area, and staying temporarily etc. It is likely that when the definition of habitat was developed it was intended to capture resting areas where birds use the land, sea, and air to replenish themselves for the trip onwards. It would also include the ultimate destination of the migration. It can be argued that a non-foraging migratory flight path does not constitute suitable living conditions; however, in the author’s view, as an essential requirement in the bird’s life cycle this appears tenuous and restrictive.In Article V, when dealing with conservation agreements, the Convention juxtaposes the terms range and migration route as follows: 4. Each AGREEMENT should:a) identify the migratory species covered;
Migratory species means any species or lower taxon of wild animal, whose members cyclically and predictably cross one or more national jurisdictional boundaries;
Migratory species means the entire population or any geographically separate part of the population of any species or lower taxon of wild animals, a significant proportion of whose members cyclically and predictably cross one or more national jurisdictional boundaries". Thus it is enough for some populations within a species to be migratory under CMS criteria for the whole species to be (numerous examples in present Appendices). In the case of the Lion, the criteria happen to apply, as shown below, to all significant, diagnosable, components of the Wilson & Reeder species, but it is not a necessary condition.
Migratory species means those wild animals which visit across one or more geographical boundaries in a particular season of the year;
Migratory species means any species of wild bird which migrates from its breeding area to its wintering area and vice versa at regular intervals;
Migratory species means a species that moves from one habitat or region to another, cyclically and predictably across one or more national jurisdictional boundaries;
