	BirdLife Statement on Avian Influenza
		BirdLife is greatly concerned and saddened by the human death toll from the current infection, and by the massive economic loss suffered by those communities affected by the virus and dependent on poultry.
		BirdLife believes that greater collaboration between veterinarians, the poultry industry and food, agriculture, health and environment bodies is needed to tackle the threat of avian ‘flu effectively.
		BirdLife International is a member of a task force on avian influenza comprising scientists and conservationists from nine different international organisations including four UN bodies, convened by the UNEP Convention on Migratory Species (CMS).

		BirdLife Internationalâs Partners throughout Europe, such as the RSPB (BirdLife in the UK), are working or preparing to work with their governments to monitor migratory wild bird populations and to provide scientific data and expert guidance.
		BirdLife International strongly opposes any suggestion that wild birds should be culled as a way of controlling the spread of the disease, on grounds of practicality and effectiveness, as well as conservation.
		BirdLife International therefore welcomes the recommendations by the European Commission that surveillance and biosecurity measures at poultry farms in the European Union should be strengthened, and that the Member States and experts have been advised to increase resources and efforts to monitor migratory bird species.

	Jordan's Queen Noor warns against complacency in fights against HIV / AIDS
		Birdlife’s application of IUCN criteria has shown that one in eight bird species is at risk of extinction.
		Again, the Birdlife Partnership was early to recognise this, and in Europe, using data on all declining and threatened species, the Partnership have drawn up habitat conservation strategies for eight priority pan-European habitats covering grassland, forest, wetland and marine eco-systems.
		Using this information, Birdlife partners have been able to lobby, advise and assist their governments and other institutions on how best to amend legislation and policies to maintain the quality of these internationally important habitats, and in so doing, sustain birds and biodiversity.
