International awareness of the plight of migratory birds of prey and owls across Africa and Eurasia is set to get a major boost this month. Countries from China to South Africa will gather in Scotland under the chairmanship of the UK and United Arab Emirates, aiming to draw up a new agreement for concerted international conservation action.
This is the first of two planned meetings, at which governments will work alongside key conservationists under the auspices of the international Convention on Migratory Species (CMS).
