Description
Summary:	The 9th Conference of the Parties (COP-9) of the CMS was held in Rome, Italy, following a series of Meetings of the Parties (MOPs) of various instruments adopted under CMS's auspices, including MOP 1 of the Gorilla Agreement, a meeting of the UNEP/GEF Siberian Crane project steering committee, and a meeting to discuss the proposed CMS project Concerted action on the large mammals of the Aridlands of Eurasia. Listing on CMS Appendix I (list of migratory species threatened with extinction) serves as the CMS Parties's agreement to adopt strict protection measures for the listed species. The COP adopted an additional resolution calling for implementation and operationalization of existing instruments during the period 2009-2011, and for maintaining momentum on agreements under development. In the face of the increasing workload of the Convention and the global economic crisis, parties adopted a modest core budget totaling E6,573,923. The budget provides for two new secretariat posts.
