International agreements are really important for protecting animals that move from place to place. Here are some key agreements that help with this:

1. Convention on Migratory Species (CMS):

   • This agreement started in 1979.
   • It helps to protect migratory species in different parts of the world.
   • As of 2023, 130 countries are part of this agreement.
   • CMS is there to help conserve over 500 migratory species.

2. Birds Directive (European Union):

   • This rule protects all wild birds across Europe.
   • It sets up Special Protection Areas (SPAs) where birds can live safely.

3. Ramsar Convention:

   • This is about protecting wetlands, which are really important homes for migratory birds.
   • There are over 2,400 Ramsar sites that cover more than 2.4 million square kilometers around the world.

4. CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species):

   • This agreement makes sure that trading animals and plants doesn't put them at risk of dying out.
   • It looks after around 35,000 different species of animals and plants.

All these agreements work together to help protect important migratory species. They aim to reduce dangers and improve efforts to conserve these animals all around the globe.
