The African-Eurasian Waterbird Agreement (AEWA) is an international treaty for the protection of waterbirds (much like our migratory bird treaty<http://www.fws.gov/pacific/migratorybirds/mbta.htm>). The parties to the Agreement include much of Europe and many countries in Aftrica.
Like many international treaties, an agency was created to facilitate and coordinate the implementation of the act across the many countries that are party to it. That organization is associated with the United Nations Environment Programme. Gregg Again from thParties to the Agreement are called upon to engage in a wide range of conservation actions which are described in a comprehensive *Action Plan*<http://www.unep-aewa.org/documents/agreement_text/action-plan-overview.htm>. This detailed plan addresses such key issues as: species and habitat conservation, management of human activities, research and monitoring, education and information, and implementation.
