Unofficial reports

Only one of the nine African savanna hornbill species, the Southern Ground-Hornbill (Bucorvus leadbeateri: hereafter SGH) is listed as being of conservation concern. The species is an apex predator and thus ecologically important, as well as holding immense cultural value to the majority of language groups across its range.

The objective of this report is to analyse the potential for enhancing synergies among the biodiversityrelated conventions and to develop a set of practical options for synergies in Bahrain.
