Two prominent organizations focus on waterfowl and wetlands conservation. One, established in 1911, is dedicated to conserving North America’s waterfowl habitats. The other, founded in 1937, takes a similar approach with a focus on duck populations and their breeding grounds. Both operate as non-profits, channeling donations towards habitat preservation, restoration, and scientific research.
The long-term health of waterfowl populations relies heavily on these conservation efforts. Healthy waterfowl populations benefit ecosystems through seed dispersal and nutrient cycling. Historically, unregulated hunting and habitat loss significantly impacted these species, making the work of these organizations vital in reversing those trends.
