Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds

The Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds ( AEWA ) is an international treaty, which was signed in 1996 as an offshoot of the Convention on the Species of Wild Animals ( Bonn Convention ).

As of November 2008 have joined 62 of 118 riparian countries in Africa, Europe and Central Asia. The agreement protects 255 species of waterfowl in an area that covers 40 percent of Earth's surface. AEWA signatory states agree to take measures for the protection of migratory waterbirds and their habitats. In general, these measures relate to species and habitat protection, management of human activities, investigations and observations and last but not less important, education and information.
