 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 at each
ordinary session of the Meeting of the Parties. The third
round will take place in 2011/2012 and the prizes will
be awarded at the opening ceremony of the 5th Session of
the Meeting of the Parties in May 2012 in La Rochelle,
France.
The AEWA Award 2012 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 31 August 2011.
The nomination form can be downloaded below or requested from the UNEP/AEWA Secretariat in electronic form or hard copy. Before filling out the nomination form, please carefully consult the criteria and procedures, also available for download below. The final decision on the award winners will be made by the AEWA Standing Committee at its 7th meeting in November 2011.
