The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is working with others to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.
The NAWCA Canada program is designed to foster partnerships among public agencies and organizations focused on several key areas: protecting, improving, restoring, and managing wetland ecosystems and habitats for migratory birds and other wildlife; ensuring the distribution of wetland-associated migratory bird populations is maintained and improved; and supporting the abundance of waterfowl and other migratory bird populations in line with international conservation plans and agreements. The grant supports projects that involve the acquisition of wetland ecosystems and associated habitats for long-term conservation, as well as the restoration, enhancement, or management of these habitats to benefit migratory birds, fish, and other wildlife. Furthermore, it aims to contribute to climate pollution reduction, enhance climate resilience, and bolster land conservation and biodiversity efforts through leveraging partnerships.
