	Sovereign Base Areas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sovereign base areas are in pink, the traditional colour on maps for British possessions.
		Akrotiri and Dhekelia are UK Sovereign Base Areas (SBAs) in Cyprus, a former British Crown Colony.

	Ramsar mission to Akrotiri salt lake, Cyprus
		In this way, the Ramsar Bureau was able to obtain a first-hand impression of the view of the most important stakeholders concerned by the Akrotiri case: the UK Sovereign Base Administration Authority, the Cyprus Government and Parliament, the Akrotiri Municipality, different individuals, and NGOs.
		The commitment of the UK Government to extend its application of the Ramsar Convention to the Sovereign Base Areas and to designate the Akrotiri wetland as a Wetland of International Importance, as notified in the joint statement with the Republic of Cyprus in August 2001, has to be applauded.
		Furthermore, the sustainable management of the Akrotiri wetland complex will also place obligations on the Republic of Cyprus and other stakeholders outside of the Sovereign Base Area, because many activities that influence the wetland complex are not within the direct control and influence of the Sovereign Base Area Administration.

		The market research [an opinion poll that was conducted by RAI Consultants between August 22 and 26, 2005, in which the pollsters randomly selected 568 people aged over 18, who were interviewed by telephone.], funded by the RSPB, follows a concerted programme by the Society to clamp down on illegal trappers.
		Field work, run in conjunction with the RSPB’s partner on the island, BirdLife Cyprus, has helped spare the lives of an estimated 20 million songbirds since autumn 2002 by encouraging enforcement authorities, including the UK forces responsible for the island’s two large UK Sovereign Base Areas (at Akrotiri and Dhekelia), to clamp down on trappers.
		Trapping has been illegal on Cyprus for over three decades but, despite the direct intervention of RSPB and BirdLife Cyprus, it is believed that hundreds of thousands of birds are still slaughtered every year driving a trade providing tavernas with the delicacy, ambelopoulia.
