The Great Lakes watershed is a priority area for Ducks Unlimited and for several other state, federal, and nonprofit entities. Working collaboratively, DU has been able to conserve important habitat in this region, but there is much left to be done to stay ahead of the pressures from the growing human population, continued introduction and expansion of invasive species, and the threat of global warming. DU will continue to aggressively deliver conservation programs in the Great Lakes region to achieve its vision of skies filled with waterfowl today, tomorrow, and forever.
