The African Convention on the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, also called the Algiers Convention, was signed on September 15, 1968, in Algiers and entered into force on June 16, 1969, after signature by 42 African states and ratification by 30 of them, including Algeria, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Nigeria and Egypt. It obliges its parties to take conservation measures covering national wildlife, soil and water resources, replacing an earlier 1933 agreement on the preservation of fauna and flora with a broader framework reflecting the priorities of newly independent African states. The convention was itself superseded by a revised version adopted in Maputo in 2003.
