The African Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Agreement (AEWA) and the Animal Demography Unit (ADU) and pleased to announce that the AFRING (African Bird Ringing Scheme) website is now live and can be seen at www.afring.org. The site's principle aims are to provide information and links to bird ringers in Africa and around the world relating to African bird ringing initiatives, access to ringing data and providing on-line mechanisms on reporting recovered rings or re-sightings of colour rings. This will all contribute to establishing regional cooperation and encouraging use of scientific data for bird and wetland conservation. The site will continually be updated and further developments are already in the pipeline to provide more information and resources.

The AEWA website can be found at www.unep-aewa.org
