used by the Ramsar Secretariat to assess progress in implementation of the
convention. The report has to be submitted six months in advance of the
next Conference of Parties, which is in Kampala, Uganda in November 2005.
Defra have requested the Joint Nature Conservation Committee to undertake
the task of compiling the UK's National Report.
