Ducks Unlimited takes a continental, landscape approach to wetland conservation and has projects in all 50 states. Our work is prioritized for what matters most to waterfowl: Breeding, migratory and wintering habitat. Constantly evolving science points us where to most efficiently spend our dollars.
Ducks Unlimited started in 1937 during the Dust Bowl when North America's drought-plagued waterfowl populations had plunged to unprecedented lows. Determined not to sit idly by, a small group of sportsmen joined to form an organization that would come to be known as Ducks Unlimited. Our mission: habitat conservation. Thanks to 90 years of improving the landscape, waterfowl and wetland-dependent bird populations are thriving.
Ducks Unlimited reaches all across North America, conserving wetlands in Canada, the United States and Mexico.
Since 1974 Ducks Unlimited de México has delivered wetland conservation solutions that benefit waterfowl as well as people in Mexican communities. Over 20% of North America's waterfowl spend winters in the mangrove swamps and other habitats of Mexico.
Over 85 years, Ducks Unlimited Canada has conserved 9.1 million acres, influenced 222.9 million, and enhanced an additional 454,304. Currently there are 12,972 habitat projects under our management, totaling 6.2 million acres conserved.
