There are a lot of challenges involved in protecting any endangered species, but trying save migratory animals from extinction poses extra complications. If any part of their migratory route is destroyed, it negatively impacts their entire existence.
A project of the United Nations called the Conservation of Migratory Species (CMS) has been meeting in Brazil to address the special needs of animals whose lives require moving from place to place. They are spending more than a month together devising ways for countries to work together to preserve ecosystems along migratory routes.
