Ducks Unlimited is the world's leader in wetland and waterfowl conservation.
Conserved wetland acres will provide habitat for more than 900 wildlife species and increase recharge of aquifers.
Wetlands also filter water, retain rainwater and reduce downstream flooding while wetland plants pump out oxygen to help clean the air.
