IMPACT OF INVASIVE ALIEN SPECIES ON SPECIES UNDER THE CONVENTION ON
MIGRATORY SPECIES EXECUTIVE SUMMARY


(Prepared by the IUCN SSC Invasive Species Specialist Group)



This study undertook an assessment of the impacts of Invasive Alien
Species (IAS) on migratory species that are protected under the
Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals
Appendix I and II with the aim of:



* Identifying those migratory populations that are most threatened by IAS;

* Specifically assessing the impact of IAS on migratory species on islands;

* Identifying those CMS-listed species that are known to be invasive;

* Evaluating how the threat of IAS on migratory species is likely to
develop in the light of climate change and identifying those CMS
listed species that will be most severely affected as a result;

* Identifying gaps in the international regulatory framework where CMS
could play a role in relation to IAS; and

* Identifying synergies with other organizations that are already
working on IAS management and where CMS could benefit from initiatives
already underway.



This report is divided into two parts, PART I, which assesses the
impact of IAS on CMS listed species and PART II, which evaluates the
gaps in the international regulatory framework in relation to the
management of IAS and identifies synergies between organizations that
address this threat so as to promote collaboration.
