Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals
Format for reports of Parties on implementation of the
Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species
of Wild Animals (revision of June 2003)
Reporting format agreed by the Standing Committee at its 26th Meeting (Bonn, June 2003) for mandatory use by
Parties, for reports submitted to the Eighth Meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP8) (Nairobi, 2005).
The questions below combine elements of Resolution 4.1 (Party Reports) adopted by the Fourth Meeting of the
Conference of the Parties (Nairobi, June 1994) and Resolution 6.4 (Strategic Plan for the Convention on Migratory
Species 2000-2005), adopted by the Sixth Meeting of the Conference of the Parties (Cape Town, November 1999), as well
as commitments arising from other operational Resolutions and Recommendations of the Conference of the Parties.
Please refer to the separate instructions on completing the report. Parties are encouraged to respond to all questions,
since it cannot be assumed that the absence of a response indicates that no activities taken have place in the current
reporting period. Parties are also requested to provide comprehensive answers, including, where appropriate, a
summary of activities, information on factors limiting action and details of any assistance required.
Which agency has been primarily responsible for the preparation of this report? Ministry of Agriculture, Nature Management
and Food Quality
