African grey parrot (Psittacus erithacus)

Directed to range States of Psittacus erithacus 
The range States should, with the support of the CITES Secretariat, relevant experts, relevant CITES Parties, non-governmental organizations and other stakeholders, develop National Action Plans, with timeframes, deliverables, and milestones, for the conservation of the species. The following key issues should be addressed:
a) actions to undertake a scientifically based field survey to establish the population status of the species in the range States;
b) the establishment and maintenance of information systems or databases relating to the populations;
c) the development and implementation of relevant long-term monitoring systems to enable range States to monitor trends in the populations;
d) the development and implementation of national management plans, where required. These plans should provide for regional cooperation, where appropriate;
e) actions to implement law enforcement programmes to combat poaching and illegal trade (both national and international) and report on the results of the programmes in terms of enforcement efforts, seizures and prosecutions;
f) the investigation of the possibility of establishing in situ captive-breeding facilities for the species, in collaboration with States with breeding facilities.
