AGREEMENT ON THE CONSERVATION OF ALBATROSSES AND PETRELS AND ITS INTERACTION WITH OTHER INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATIONSAgreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels • October 19th, 2018
The Agreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels (ACAP) is a multilateral agreement that seeks to achieve and maintain a favourable conservation status for albatrosses and petrels globally (http://www.acap.aq/en/acap-agreement), especially the 31 species currently listed in Annex 1 of the Agreement (see Table 1 for those species distributed in the SEAFO area). In addition to individual nations taking measures to protect albatrosses and petrels, international cooperative action is also required. Albatrosses and petrels are susceptible to threats operating throughout their very large foraging ranges, which extend across national boundaries and into international waters. Consequently, international cooperation on albatross and petrel conservation is critical to enhance the prospects for effective conservation measures across their ranges. One of the main objectives of ACAP is to facilitate the international co-ordination required to improve the conservation status of albatross
