It obliges States Parties in general terms to create protected areas to safeguard representative samples of ecosystems, and places of scenic, geological, aesthetic, historical, cultural or scientific importance. The Convention also prohibits the taking or killing of fauna (including eggs and shells) unless the taking is controlled by the competent authorities of the State concerned or unless in pursuance of 'duly authorised' scientific investigations. There is a further obligation on States to use their best endeavours to protect indigenous species from unwise exploitation and other threats that may lead to their extinction. States are required to prepare a list of their indigenous endangered species. Such species may be taken only in pursuance of special permission for scientific purposes, to maintain the ecological equilibrium or to further the administration of the area in which the species in question is to be found. States Parties are also required to 'consider carefully' the consequence of the introduction of exotic species. Where practicable, the States Parties are to engage in research relating to nature conservation in coordination with other States Parties and to exchange the resulting information. Comes into force 90 days after the deposit of the fourth instrument of ratification etc. Texte intégral Anglais Français Espagnol Site web www.sprep.org Pays/Territoire/Participant Vue étendue Montrer la carte Des pays Entrée en vigueur Ratification * Signature simple Australie Jui 26, 1990 Mar 28, 1990 [2] - Fidji Jui 26, 1990 Sep 8, 1989 [2] - France Jui 26, 1990 Jan 20, 1989 [1] Jui 12, 1976 Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée - - Jui 12, 1976 Samoa Jul 20, 1990 Jul 20, 1990 [1] Jui 12, 1976 Îles Cook (Nouvelle-Zélande) Jui 26, 1990 Jui 24, 1987 [2] - * [1] Ratification [2] Adhesion [3] Acceptation/approbation [4] Succession [5] Consentement à être lié [6] Définitive signature reset zoom out zoom in D'autres références Littérature 6 documents liés à ce traité Voir la littérature
