Commonwealth Albatross decisions (Aust.)

["Martin O'Brien"<>]

For those interested in the advice forwarded to the Commonwealth
Environment Minister regarding listing of various albatross species to the
Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 - some interesting and useful
information can be found on the Environment Australia webpage which has
recently been updated to a new format.

Check the "Changes to ESP Act Schedules" link for this report.  I am
interested to hear what people think of the conservation ratings decided
upon by the committee for these species.
