Abstract: | Magin, C. 2000. Birdlife International's Important Bird Areas Programme in Morocco. Ostrich 71 (1 & 2): 175–176. BirdLife International's Important Bird Areas programme (IBA) was launched in Morocco in 1995 by a steering committee comprised of three national NGO's, representatives from the Ministries of Agriculture and Environment, the University of Montpelier and BirdLife International. Subsequently the programme's implementation has been overseen by the BirdLife Secretariat. It will result in the publication of a national IBA inventory and the elaboration of plans to promote the conservation of priority IBAs. The selection of IBA sites is discussed and three examples of Moroccan IBAs are given. |
