Waterbird Conservation for the Americas (WCA)

Waterbird Conservation for the Americas (WCA) is a regional initiative dedicated to protecting waterbirds—such as ducks, herons, and shorebirds—and their habitats across North, Central, and South America. It focuses on understanding the needs of these birds, monitoring their populations, and addressing threats like habitat loss, pollution, and climate change. Through partnerships among governments, scientists, and local communities, WCA aims to ensure the survival of waterbirds and maintain healthy wetland ecosystems that benefit both wildlife and people.
