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.
