Federal Duck Stamp

The Federal Duck Stamp is a system in the United States that generates funding for wildlife conservation, specifically for migratory waterfowl and their habitats. Established in 1934, it requires waterfowl hunters to purchase a stamp each year, with proceeds supporting the preservation of wetlands and wildlife refuges. The stamp features artwork of ducks, and buyers often collect them as art. Funds collected from the sale of these stamps have significantly contributed to the protection and management of millions of acres of wetlands vital for various species and ecosystems.
