We outline the rationale for the existence of the Agreement, the history of its development, the progress it has achieved to date, and its future plans. It is hoped that the aims and objectives of ACAP will be fostered by creating a general awareness of it among the global seabird research community, leading to an improved conservation status for those procellariiform species that it lists.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph'><span style='mso-ansi-language:EN-US'><![if !supportEmptyParas]>&nbsp;<![endif]><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph'><span style='mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Key words: albatrosses, petrels, Procellariiformes, conservation, international policy<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph'><span style='mso-ansi-language:EN-US'><![if !supportEmptyParas]>&nbsp;<![endif]><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-ZA><![if !supportEmptyParas]>&nbsp;<![endif]><o:p></o:p></span></p> </div> </body> </html>
