Resumen

Objectives: To encourage conservation, utilisation and development of soil, water, flora and fauna for the present and future welfare of mankind, from an economic, nutritional, scientific, educational, cultural and aesthetic point of view.

Summary of provisions: The Contracting States undertake to adopt the measures necessary to ensure the conservation, utilisation and development of soil, water, floral and faunal resources in accordance with scientific principles and with due regard to the best interests of the people (art. II). They agree to take effective measures to conserve and improve the soil and to control erosion and land use (art. IV). Furthermore, they are to establish policies to conserve, utilise and develop water resources, prevent pollution and control water use (art. V). Parties also undertake to protect flora and ensure its best utilization, the management of forests and control of burning, land clearance and overgrazing (art. VI). They are to conserve faunal resources and use them wisely, manage populations and habitats, control hunting, capture and fishing, and prohibit the use of poisons, explosives and automatic weapons in hunting (art. VII). Protected species in list A enjoy full total protection, while those in list B may be taken only with authorization (art. VIII). Traffic in trophies is to be tightly controlled, to prevent trade in illegally killed and obtained trophies (art. IX). Conservation areas are to be established and maintained (art. X), while customary rights are to be reconciled with the Convention (art. XI). Conservation education is to be undertaken at all levels (art. XIII) and conservation and ecological factors are to be considered in development plans (art. XIV). Parties undertake to cooperate wherever necessary in implementing the Convention (art. XVI). The Organization of African Unity (now the African Union) is to carry out the function of Secretariat to the Convention. Regular meetings of the parties are not provided for.
