North American Waterfowl Management Plan

In the 1980s, public and private agencies in Canada and the United States began to design the most comprehensive habitat conservation plan in the World. In 1986, the North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP) was signed by the governments of the United States and Canada, and later joined by Mexico. The plan was and continues to be revolutionary in its vision. It transcends international borders and promotes massive cooperative funding of land conservation programs to protect habitat for waterfowl and other wildlife habitat throughout North America. The primary goal of NAWMP is the return of waterfowl populations to levels seen in the 1970s.
 
NAWMP is a partnership of farmers, ranchers and other landowners working with agricultural land conservation organizations and governments to ensure agricultural sustainability while enhancing the landscape for wildlife, in particular, waterfowl.
