dc.descriptionThis report presents a rapid response assessment examining global wildlife migrations and the ecological networks that sustain them. It describes how migratory species across land, sea, and air depend on connected habitats and corridors to complete life cycles involving feeding, breeding, and seasonal movement. The document outlines the scale of global migration, the biological mechanisms involved, and the growing pressures from habitat loss, infrastructure development, overharvesting, pollution, climate change, and disturbance. Using thematic chapters and detailed case studies, it documents impacts on species such as large terrestrial mammals, marine animals, and long-distance migratory birds. The report situates these findings within an international governance context, emphasizing cross-border cooperation and coordinated management as essential to maintaining functional migration systems worldwide.en
