North American Waterfowl Management Plan

The North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP) is a cooperative initiative involving Canada, the United States, and Mexico aimed at conserving waterfowl populations and their habitats. Established in 1986, it focuses on restoring and protecting wetlands and breeding grounds essential for ducks and geese. By bringing together governments, organizations, and local communities, NAWMP seeks to ensure sustainable waterfowl populations, promote biodiversity, and enhance the hunting and birdwatching opportunities for future generations. Its success relies on science-based management and collaboration across borders to address environmental challenges.
