Ducks Unlimited's International Programs
Ducks Unlimited, Inc. (DU) has long recognized that maintaining North America's waterfowl populations requires conservation well beyond U.S. borders. Indeed, migratory birds present one of the greatest conservation challenges on Earth. Responsible stewardship of these species often requires conservation of habitats from the boreal forest of Canada to the tropical mangrove swamps of Venezuela and numerous points between and beyond.
Ducks Unlimited Canada
DU secures and enhances waterfowl breeding habitats in Canada, through our sister organization, DU Canada. Much of this habitat serves as upland cover, essential for successful reproduction in prairie-nesting waterfowl.

Wetland Care Australia
In October 1991, inspired by the conservation efforts of Ducks Unlimited Canada and recognizing the need for wetlands conservation in Australia, a group of concerned citizens formed Ducks Unlimited Australia. The name was changed to Wetland Care Australia in 1996 but the mission remained the same: to restore, create, conserve and manage Australia's wetland habitats and dependent species.
