联合国《保护野生动物迁徙物种公约》（CMS）周日批准将40个新物种列入国际保护名录，其中包括《哈利·波特》系列中登场的雪鸮。
这项决定在巴西坎波格林德举行的迁徙物种缔约方大会第十五次会议（COP15）闭幕时通过，共有132个国家和欧盟的代表参与了此次会议。
这是全球最重要的野生动物保护国际会议之一。
与雪鸮（学名Bubo scandiacus）一同被列入新保护名录的还有：哈德逊黑尾塍鹬（学名Limosa haemastica）——一种喙部修长、濒临灭绝的滨鸟，以及双髻鲨（学名Sphyrna mokarran）。
新保护名录中还包括条纹鬣狗（学名Hyaena hyaena）、猎豹（学名Acinonyx jubatus）等陆地哺乳动物，以及巨獭（学名Pteronura brasiliensis）等水生野生动物。
CMS在社交媒体的一份声明中表示：“从猎豹、条纹鬣狗到雪鸮、巨獭和双髻鲨，缔约方各方支持采取更有力的国际行动，因为新证据显示，许多迁徙物种正愈发濒临灭绝。”
《保护野生动物迁徙物种公约》缔约方有法律义务保护列入名录的濒危物种，保护和恢复其栖息地，消除迁徙障碍，并与其他分布国开展合作。
坎波格林德位于巴西生物多样性丰富的潘塔纳尔湿地，地处亚马逊南部地区。
根据会议前发布的一份报告，CMS收录的所有物种中近一半（49%）数量出现下降，全球范围内近四分之一的物种面临灭绝威胁。
CMS执行秘书艾米·弗伦克尔在一份声明中表示：“我们来到坎波格林德时就知道，这项公约保护下的物种有一半种群数量正在下降。我们离开时获得了更有力的保护和更雄心勃勃的计划，但物种本身不会等到我们下一次会议才面临危机。”
会议开幕当天发布的另一项联合国重大评估报告警告称，对河流健康和数百万人生计至关重要的洄游淡水鱼类种群数量急剧下降，面临崩溃风险。
从亚马逊河到多瑙河，栖息地破坏、过度捕捞和水污染正威胁着数百个物种的生存，这些沿世界大河长途迁徙的物种在很大程度上被人们忽视。
去年11月，巴西在亚马逊城市贝伦举办了第三十届气候变化缔约方大会（COP30）。近200个国家的领导人出席了此次峰会，但全球三大温室气体排放国——中国、美国和印度的代表并未到场。不过北京和新德里确实派出了高级别代表团参与这场为期两周的峰会。而白宫表示，美国不会有高级官员出席今年的气候大会。特朗普总统曾多次将人为造成的气候变化斥为“一场骗局”。

Snowy owl, hammerhead shark and cheetah among 40 new species granted international protection, U.N. says

The U.N. Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) on Sunday approved the listing of 40 new species for international protection, including the snowy owl featured in the Harry Potter saga.
The decision came at the conclusion of the COP15 summit on migratory species in Campo Verde, Brazil, which brought together representatives from 132 countries and the European Union.
It is one of the world’s most important global meetings for wildlife conservation.
Also on the new list for protection along with the snowy owl (Bubo scandiacus) are the Hudsonian godwit (Limosa haemastica) — a long-beaked shorebird threatened with extinction — and the great hammerhead shark (Sphyrna mokarran).
The new list featured land mammals like the striped hyena (Hyaena hyaena) and the cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) and other aquatic wildlife such as the giant otter (Pteronura brasiliensis).
“From cheetahs and striped hyenas to snowy owls, giant otters and great hammerhead sharks, CMS Parties have backed stronger international action as new evidence shows many migratory species are moving closer to extinction,” CMS said in a statement on social media.
The countries that are party to the CMS are legally obliged to protect species listed as at risk of extinction, conserve and restore their habitats, prevent obstacles to migration and cooperate with other range states.
Campo Verde is in Brazil’s biodiversity-rich Pantanal wetlands, in the southern Amazon.
According to a report released ahead of the summit, nearly half (49 percent) of all species catalogued by the CMS are showing signs of declining numbers, and nearly one in four are threatened with extinction on a worldwide scale.
“We came to Campo Grande knowing that the populations of half the species protected under this treaty are in decline,” CMS Executive Secretary Amy Fraenkel said in a statement. “We leave with stronger protections and more ambitious plans but the species themselves are not waiting for our next meeting.”
Another major U.N. assessment, published on Tuesday as the summit opened, warned that migratory freshwater fish populations crucial to river health and sustaining the livelihoods of millions of people are in freefall and risk collapse.
Habitat destruction, overfishing and water pollution from the Amazon to the Danube threaten the very survival of hundreds of species whose epic voyages along the world’s great rivers go largely unnoticed.
Last November, Brazil hosted the COP30 climate summit in the Amazonian city of Belem. Leaders from nearly 200 nations attended the summit but not from the world’s three largest greenhouse gas emitters — China, the United States and India. Beijing and New Delhi did dispatch senior-level delegations for the two-week summit. The White House, however, said no high-level U.S. officials would attend this year’s COP. President Trump has repeatedly dismissed human-caused climate change as “a hoax.”
