Conserving wildlife

The Convention on the conservation of European wildlife and natural habitats, known as the Bern Convention, aims to conserve wild flora and fauna and their natural habitats, especially those species and habitats whose conservation requires the co-operation of several States, and to promote such co-operation. Particular emphasis is given to endangered and vulnerable species, including endangered and vulnerable migratory species. The Bern Convention Secretariat is located within the Council of Europe.
