Republic of Korea–Australia Migratory Bird Agreement

The Republic of Korea–Australia Migratory Bird Agreement (ROKAMBA) is a bilateral treaty between Australia and the Republic of Korea regarding the conservation of migratory birds and their habitat. The agreement was signed in Canberra on 6 December 2006 and came into force on 13 July 2007.

Australia and the Republic of Korea both fall within the East Asian–Australasian Flyway, a migratory route used by more than 50 million migratory waterbirds each year, including a number of threatened species. Of these, 59 species are known to migrate between Australia and the Republic of Korea. The agreement aims to prevent harm to these birds and their environment through the prohibition of the taking or trading of listed birds and their eggs, the control of invasive species, the formation of joint research and conservation initiatives, and other such measures.
