Subject: [Ramsar Forum] Waterbirds around the World
Dear Forum Members
We would like to remind you of the Waterbirds Around the World Conference that will be held in Edinburgh, UK from 3-8 April. If you have not registered yet you are still welcome to do so - the deadline for registration is 15 March.
Waterbirds Around the World is the first conference to focus entirely on all major themes and developments related to the global conservation of waterbird flyways during their full annual cycle: breeding areas, stop-over sites and wintering areas. It will address the achievements of the last 40-50 years and consider the need for initiatives to stimulate future conservation, research and management, not only of the world's migratory waterbird flyways, but also of threatened non-migratory species.
The conference is organised by Wetlands International and hosted by the Joint Nature Conservation Committee and Scottish Natural Heritage (with support of DEFRA, SE, EN, CCW and EHS Northern Ireland) of the UK, and the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality. The US Fish and Wildlife Service is co-chair to the conference, and a large number of other organisations sponsor and support the conference.
For further information, as well as for the online registration form please visit the Wetlands International website at http://www.wetlands.org/GFC/Default.htm.
