TRCP's Conservation Field Notes: North American Wetlands Conservation Act

Overview

Waterfowl are so universally revered that the North American Wetlands Conservation Act was passed to fund wetlands and waterfowl conservation efforts in Canada, the United States and Mexico. However, the NAWCA program is subject to constant need for approval and funding in the congressional cycles. In 2012, the programs budget was down 26% from just 2 years ago. It’s important for sportsmen to speak up for this essential program.
