 have agreed on the following:

Article I Definitions

 1. For the purposes of this Convention: (a) "migratory species" means the entire population or a geographically isolated part of a population of any species or any lower taxa of wild animals, a significant part of which cyclically and predestinately crosses one or more borders of national jurisdiction; (b) "conservation status of a migratory species" means a set of influences that may, during the have a long-term impact on the distribution and abundance of this migratory species; (c) The "conservation status" is considered "favorable" if: 1) population dynamics data show that the migratory species remains a viable part of its ecosystems for a long time; 2) there is currently no reduction in the range of the migratory species or such a reduction is unlikely on a long-term basis; 3) there is currently In the foreseeable future, there will be sufficient habitats to preserve the population of this migratory species on a long-term basis.; 4) the distribution and abundance of this migratory species are approaching historically established areas and levels to the extent that potentially acceptable ecosystems exist and to the extent that this is consistent with sound management of wildlife; d) the "conservation status" is considered "unfavorable" if any of the conditions specified in subparagraph "c" of this paragraph, not complied with; (e) "Endangered" means, in relation to a particular migratory species, that this species is threatened with extinction in its entire range or in a significant part of it; (f) "range" means the entire land area or water area in which the migratory species lives or temporarily stops, as well as which it crosses or over (g) "Habitat" means any territory within the range of a migratory species with suitable habitat conditions for that species.; (h) "Range State" means, with respect to a particular migratory species, any State (and, where appropriate, any other Party referred to in subparagraph (k) of this paragraph) exercising jurisdiction over any part of the range of that migratory species, or the State under whose flag vessels are engaged in harvesting individuals of that migratory species (i) "Extraction" means extraction, hunting, fishing, trapping, startling, intentional extermination or an attempt to carry out such acts; (j) "Agreement" means an international agreement for the conservation of one or more migratory species in accordance with Articles IV and V of this Convention; and (k) "Party" means a State or any regional economic integration organization formed by sovereign States that have competence to negotiate, conclude and implement international agreements on matters covered by this Convention., and for which this Convention is in force. 2. In matters within their competence, regional economic integration organizations that are Parties to this Convention shall, on their behalf, enjoy the rights and responsibilities that arise from this Convention for the member States of these organizations. In such cases, the member States of these organizations cannot individually exercise these rights. 3. In cases where this Convention provides for a decision to be taken either by a two-thirds majority of "the Parties present and voting" or unanimously, it means "the Parties present voting either "for" or "against". The Parties who abstained from voting do not belong to the "present and voting Parties" when determining the majority.

Article II Basic principles

 1. The Parties recognize the importance of the conservation of migratory species and the coordination by the States of the range of measures taken for this purpose, where possible and appropriate, paying special attention to migratory species whose conservation status is unfavorable, as well as taking individually or in cooperation appropriate measures necessary for the conservation of such species and their habitats. 2. The Parties recognize the need to take measures aimed at preventing the threat of extinction of migratory species. 3. In particular, the Parties should: (a) promote and cooperate in scientific research related to migratory species; (b) make efforts to ensure the immediate protection of the migratory species included in Annex I; (c) make efforts to conclude Agreements on the Conservation and Management of the Migratory species included in Annex II.

Article III Endangered migratory species:

 Annex I

 1. Appendix I contains a list of endangered migratory species. 2. A migratory species may be included in the Annex I list provided there is reliable evidence, including the best available scientific evidence, that indicates that the species is at risk of extinction. 3. A migratory species may be excluded from Annex I if the Conference of the Parties determines: (a) that there is reliable evidence, including the best available scientific evidence, indicating that the species is no longer threatened with extinction; and (b) that this species is not likely to become endangered again due to the termination of its protection as a result of its exclusion from Annex I. 4. The Parties that are States of the range of the migratory species listed in the Annex I list will make efforts to: (a) preserve and, if possible and appropriate, restore those habitats that are important for protecting these species from the threat of extinction; (b) prevent, eliminate, compensate or, as far as appropriate, reduce to minimize the negative effects of actions or interference that seriously impede or exclude the migration of these species.; and c) to the extent possible and where appropriate, to prevent, reduce or regulate the effects of factors that threaten or are likely to further threaten these species, including strict regulation of introductions or regulation or destruction of already introduced exotic species. 5. Parties that are States of the range of migratory species listed in the Annex I list prohibit the harvesting of animals of this species. Exceptions are allowed only if: a) the extraction serves scientific purposes; (b) The extraction is carried out to facilitate the reproduction or survival of an endangered species; (c) the extraction is carried out to meet the immediate needs of the traditional users of the species; or (d) Exceptional circumstances require it; provided that such exceptions are accurate in their content and limited geographically and in time. Such extraction should not have adverse consequences for this species. 6. The Conference of the Parties may recommend to the Parties that are States of the range of the migratory species included in Annex I, the adoption of further measures considered favorable for this species. 7. The Parties shall notify the Secretariat as soon as possible of any exceptions made in accordance with paragraph 5 of this Article.

Article IV Migratory species that may become the subject of Agreements:

If circumstances so require, the same migratory species may be included in both Annex I and Annex II. 3. The Parties, which are States of the range of migratory species included in Annex II, will make efforts to conclude Agreements favorable for these species and should give priority to those species whose conservation status is unfavorable. 4. The Parties are called upon to take measures to conclude Agreements on any population or any geographically isolated part of a population of any species or lower taxon of wild animals whose representatives periodically cross one or more borders of national jurisdiction. 5. A copy of each Agreement concluded in accordance with the provisions of this Article shall be sent to the Secretariat.
