COP15: Migratory species preservation debated at UN conference

“In the coming days, we will have the opportunity to send a clear message to the world: if we work together, it is possible to reconcile development and conservation; to generate wealth without destroying the natural heritage that sustains us, thereby promoting a new cycle of prosperity,” said Marina Silva in her welcoming speech at the 15th United Nations Conference on Migratory Species of Wild Animals (COP15). The meeting of signatory countries to the United Nations Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) began on Monday (Mar. 23) and will run until the 29. It is being held in Campo Grande, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, which encompasses a large portion of the Pantanal, one of Brazil’s six biomes.
