The second meeting of signatories to the Memorandum of Understanding concerning Conservation Measures for the Aquatic Warbler, held under the auspices of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) Convention on Migratory Species (CMS), convened from 13-15 May 2010, in Biebrza, Poland. The meeting adopted a new International Species Action Plan for the Aquatic Warbler, prepared by CMS partner Birdlife International on behalf of the EU, aiming to protect the Aquatic Warbler throughout its range and envisaging concrete actions to be taken by countries. The meeting further agreed to extend the geographical coverage of the agreement, originally comprising 15 countries, to include seven new countries in Europe and Africa, along the bird’s migration route and in its wintering areas. The Aquatic Warbler is the rarest and the only globally threatened passerine bird found in mainland Europe.
