AGREEMENT ON THE CONSERVATION OF AFRICAN-EURASIAN MIGRATORY WATERBIRDSAgreement • June 23rd, 2022
This is linked to AEWA MOP Resolution 6.12 (2015) on “Avoiding additional and unnecessary mortality for migratory waterbirds”, which lists a range of previous MOP Resolutions and other initiatives on individual threats and mortality causes, urges Parties to give priority to making use of those, and makes a connection in particular to related Resolutions and working arrangements under the Convention on Migratory Species, concerning poisoning and illegal killing. A general mandate is also contained in the Agreement itself, in Article III.2(e) which provides that Parties shall “investigate problems that are posed or are likely to be posed by human activities and endeavour to implement remedial measures, including habitat rehabilitation and restoration, and compensatory measures for loss of habitat”.
