In November 2006 Christchurch in New Zealand's South Island welcomed delegates to the Second Meeting of Parties to the Agreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels. A most successful meeting was held, supported by the friendly hosts and excellent facilities of the city.
The ACAP Secretariat wishes to extend its sympathies to its New Zealand colleagues, especially those that reside in Christchurch, and to all the people of that city and of New Zealand affected by this tragedy.
Our thoughts are with you.
Warren Papworth, ACAP Executive Secretary and the Secretariat staff, 26 February 2011
