Abstract

Abstract The Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (Bonn Convention; the Convention) was adopted on 23 June 1979 and has a current membership of 133 parties. This article introduces the Convention and examines the measures and practices that have been taken under its auspices to seek to make the Convention more effective. This article also considers the factors that may directly or indirectly inhibit the efficient functioning of the Convention, especially the role of membership fees and voting practices.

期刊介绍： Drawing upon the findings from island biogeography studies, Norman Myers estimates that we are losing between 50-200 species per day, a rate 120,000 times greater than the background rate during prehistoric times. Worse still, the rate is accelerating rapidly. By the year 2000, we may have lost over one million species, counting back from three centuries ago when this trend began. By the middle of the next century, as many as one half of all species may face extinction. Moreover, our rapid destruction of critical ecosystems, such as tropical coral reefs, wetlands, estuaries, and rainforests may seriously impair species" regeneration, a process that has taken several million years after mass extinctions in the past.
