It has recently been drawn to our attention that emails purporting to come from the AEWA Secretariat have asked recipients to urgently click on links or download attachments in relation to official meetings. We would like to warn all our contacts to be extremely vigilant that only emails received from the @unep-aewa.org or un.org domain names are official. We advise everyone to ignore and immediately delete any suspicious email sent from free email platforms such as Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail etc. using the name of the Secretariat or pretending to be sent on its behalf. Please exercise the utmost care.

Report on the Conservation Status of Migratory Waterbirds in the Agreement Area (CSR9)
Prepared every three years, the 9th edition of the Report on the Conservation Status of Migratory Waterbirds in the Agreement Area (CSR9) provides the clearest picture to date into the complex web of threats migratory waterbird populations face—such as unsustainable hunting, infrastructure development and agricultural expansion — while also recommending urgent, coordinated action to recover threatened species, ensure sustainable use, complete and cohere the network of key sites and conserve habitats in the wider environment among other recommendations across the African-Eurasian flyways.
