Abstract

Objectives: To improve the conservation status of the Siberian Crane. Summary of provisions: This Memorandum of Understanding is a non legally-binding agreement under article IV(4) of the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS). It supersedes the Memorandum of Understanding of the same name adopted in Kushiro in June 1993. Parties undertake to provide strict protection to Siberian Cranes, and identify and conserve wetland habitats essential for their survival. A Conservation Plan is annexed to the MoU to be implemented as a basis for conserving the western, central and eastern populations of the species. Parties further agree to co-operate with other Range states and to exchange information relating to the conservation of the Siberian Crane in order to co-ordinate their action. Institutional mechanisms: The Secretariat of the Bonn Convention is provided with certain functions under the MoU, including assessing the implementation of the MoU and Conservation Plan, and preparing an overview report based on the reports received from the Parties.
