BASIC DATA. Apply format as outlined above on page 6, limit to maximum 1-2 pages. ● Guidance regarding the definition of Range States in Management Plans and subsequent obligations of AEWA Contracting Parties: Each Contracting Party to AEWA is equally responsible under the Agreement for all the AEWA species/populations they host as per the obligations set out in the AEWA legal text. All the countries which host a specific species (whether in small or large numbers) are considered Range States for that species. The identification of Principal Range States in AEWA Management Plans, is an approach used to prioritise coordinated international management efforts to those countries considered to be crucial for ensuring the favourable conservation status of the species/population in question or those countries that experience considerable human-wildlife conflict with the population. Various approaches are used in the existing AEWA Action and Management Plans to determine the geographic scope and the Principal Range States which carry the major responsibility for the implementation of the respective plans. Principal Range States are the countries that will be invited to participate in inter-governmental AEWA International Species Working Groups to coordinate implementation following the adoption of Management Plans and will also be requested to report specifically on progress made on Management Plan implementation. An initial assessment of the Principal Range States for a new species for which a Management Plan is being prepared, is carried out by the Lead Compiler in the very beginning of the management-planning process together with the UNEP/AEWA Secretariat and supported by the Technical Committee, as necessary. It should be noted that, under no circumstances does the identification of Principal Range States in AEWA International Species Management Plans, diminish the legal obligations of potential remaining Range States which are Contracting Parties to AEWA to equally ensure the favourable conservation status of the species/populations in question. ● Guidance on defining the Management Plan Spatial Scope for Species with a Wide Geographical Range: As recognised by the AEWA Technical Committee, for Management Plans covering species populations with a wide geographic distribution, relatively high numbers and/or different sub-species, a more differentiated approach may be necessary, in order to limit the scope of the plan so that urgent activities for implementation remain focused on the most important Range States. In such Plans, Principal Range States are defined as Range States which regularly support a set percentage (between 1 and 5% of the biogeographic population) breeding and/or non-breeding numbers of the species/subspecies and ideally not exceeding 20 countries. In addition to the Principal Range States, two additional Range State categories are suggested to be introduced to such Management Plans, as necessary:
