Species Conservation. Legal measures 2.1 Has a national policy/strategy or legislation to protect and conserve species covered by the Agreement (Table 1: column A; column B) and their support- ing important areas been developed? In Germany, waterbird conservation is centrally integrated within general conservation for natural assets and biodiversity (Arts. 1 and 2 Federal Nature Conservation Act - BNatSchG): "The natural and historically grown variety of wild fauna ... shall be conserved since they are a part of the balance of nature". This includes comprehensive legislation – standardisation of which is planned in the form of an environmental code – and a range of special species con- servation projects. The Länder are responsible for such conservation, and they carry out most of the relevant specific nature conservation work. The Federal Government takes action in its capacity as an issuer of framework legislation. All of the AEWA species are protected by the EU Bird Directive (79/409/EEC). Germany's most important national strategy for protecting waterbirds is to implement this directive in conjunction with the Fauna, Flora and Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC) and the AEWA. a.
