POLICIES AND LEGISLATION RELEVANT FOR MANAGEMENT. The countries where Slaty Egrets occur have all signed up to some international conservation conventions or agreements but only South Africa is at present signatory to the African Eurasian Waterbird Agreement (see Table 3.1). Table 3.1: Membership of range states in International Conservation Conventions and Agreements AEWA CBD CMS (Bonn) CITES Ramsar WHC Angola X X Botswana X X X X Namibia X X X X South Africa X X X X X X Zambia X X X X Zimbabwe X X X Slaty Egrets are only listed by Namibia and Botswana in their national Red Data Books and although in most range states they receive general protection along with many other species, few countries have given the species specific legal protection (see Table 3.2 below). Apart from attention given to Slaty Egret in the Okavango Delta Management Plan prepared because of the site’s Ramsar status, no range state has developed an action plan for the species and monitoring of Slaty Egrets is very ad hoc, birds mainly being incidentally seen during biannual waterbird counts. Apart from in the Okavango Delta and in the Caprivi Strip there have been few attempts to establish the species’ population size.
