 In
2005 the Standing Committee of AEWA established the AEWA
Waterbird Conservation Award in order to recognise and honour
institutions and individuals within the Agreement area that
have significantly contributed towards the conservation
and sustainable use of waterbirds.
The award is to be presented triennially
at each ordinary session of the Meeting of the Parties.
The second round will take place in 2008 and the prizes
will be awarded at the opening ceremony of the 4th Session
of the Meeting of the Parties in September 2008 in Antananarivo,
Madagascar.
The AEWA Award 2008 will be presented
in two categories - institutional and individual, and in
addition each of the winners will receive a cash prize of
US $ 5,000. We welcome nominations of government
and non-government organisations, enterprises and individuals,
which have made a significant contribution towards long-term
conservation and sustainable use of waterbirds, especially
pioneer initiatives or ones that serve as models for others.
Nominations should be received by the UNEP/AEWA Secretariat
not later than 30 April 2008
The nomination form can be downloaded
here
or be available on a request from the UNEP/AEWA
Secretariat in electronic form or hard copy.
Before filling out the nomination form please read carefully
the criteria and procedures available here.
The final decision on the award winners will be made by
the Standing Committee.
