Samarkand, The Gulf Observer: The 14th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS COP14) will be held at the Silk Road Samarkand Conference Center in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, from 12 to 17 February 2024.

The Government of Uzbekistan and the CMS Secretariat approved the official logo and slogan of the event.

CMS COP14 will be convened under the slogan “Nature knows no borders”, a reminder that migratory species cross political boundaries and that their survival depends on international collaboration and transboundary conservation efforts.

At the conference, government representatives, scientists, and stakeholders will come together to agree on strategies for the conservation of migratory species and their habitats.

The triennial international meeting will highlight habitat conservation and restoration issues and threats to species, such as overexploitation, habitat loss and fragmentation, pollution, and climate change.
