21 SEABIRD FAMILIES OF THE WORLD
Seabird No No. % CMS/ % Family Species Threatened AEWA/ACAP Included Penguins Albatrosses Petrels Storm petrels Diving petrels Pelicans Gannets Cormorants Frigate birds Tropic birds Gulls Terns Skuas Auks TOTALS

22 THREATENED SEABIRDS LISTED BY CMS
FOR CONCERTED OR COLLABORATIVE ACTION Penguins: 2 species Albatrosses : 21 species Giant petrels: 2 species Procellaria petrels: 5 species Chinese Crested Tern TOTAL: 31 species (62% of 50 threatened CMS/ACAP/AEWA seabirds)

23 WHAT ACTIONS HAVE BEEN TAKEN BY CMS FOR THE LISTED SEABIRDS?
AND ITS AGREEMENTS FOR THE LISTED SEABIRDS? African Penguin: AEWA Eighteen Southern Hemisphere albatrosses: Two giant petrels: Five Procellaria petrels : TOTAL: 26 (84%)

24 WHAT ACTIONS ARE BEING TAKEN FOR THE AFRICAN PENGUIN?
1996: Penguin CAMP Workshop 1999: CMS call for action 1999: PHVA Workshop 2000: Spheniscus Workshop calls for MoU 2002: CAMP Southern African Seabird Workshop 2004: AEWA funds a Multi-species Action Plan Nations involved: Namibia and South Africa

25 WHAT IS HAPPENING INTERNATIONALLY FOR THE OTHER CMS
THREATENED SEABIRDS LISTED FOR ACTION? North Pacific Albatrosses: NPAWG & START Laysan Black-footed Short- tailed Nations involved: Canada, Japan and USA: all non-CMS Parties

26 WHAT IS HAPPENING INTERNATIONALLY FOR THE OTHER CMS
THREATENED SEABIRDS LISTED FOR ACTION? HUMBOLDT PENGUIN IUCN CAMP Workshops, 1996 and 2004 IUCN PHVA Workshop, 1998 IUCN Spheniscus Workshop, 2000 Annual surveys Nations involved: Chile and Peru

27 WHAT IS HAPPENING INTERNATIONALLY FOR THE OTHER CMS THREATENED SEABIRDS LISTED FOR ACTION?
IUCN: Critically Endangered Four pairs rediscovered in 2000 CMS: Appendix I, for concerted action in 2002 No international action underway as yet? Chinese Crested Tern Nations to be involved: China, (Taiwan), Philippines

28 WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE OTHER 19 CMS THREATENED SEABIRDS?
Example 1: The Peruvian Diving Petrel Added to Appendix I at 6CoP in 2002, but no call for action by CMS as yet Ongoing surveys by breeding range states Joint action proposed via an International Working Group in 2002 International Action Plan required Nations involved: Chile and Peru

29 WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE OTHER 19 CMS THREATENED SEABIRDS?
Example 2: The Pink-footed Shearwater Added to Appendix I at 6CoP in 2002, but no call for action by CMS as yet International research at breeding grounds in Chile CEC Action Plan (Canada, Mexico & USA) COSEWIC Status Report (Canada)

30 THE WAY FORWARD:A FIVE-POINT PLAN FOR THE CMS AND ITS AGREEMENTS
Commission a review of the 127 threatened seabirds Encourage Non-Parties to attend CoPs and MoPs as Observers Encourage selected Non-Parties to join CMS, AEWA and ACAP Encourage Non-Parties to report on international activities Call for Action Plans and Memoranda of Understanding
