Episode Details

Over one hundred thirty nations converge in Brazil for a UN meeting to protect migratory animals, including snowy owls, hammerhead sharks, giant otters, and hyenas. These species face significant threats during their long journeys across borders. The talks aim to add them to the appendices of the Convention on Migratory Species treaty for enhanced safeguards. Experts highlight the challenges these creatures face due to overfishing, deforestation, and climate change. Norway advocates for snowy owls on Appendix two, Ecuador pushes for two hammerhead types on Appendix one, and giant otters could land on both lists. Forty-two proposals are up for votes, with success potentially sparking global action to keep these vital wanderers safe.
