Welcome Letter from the Council Chair

On behalf of the North American Wetlands Conservation Council, I am pleased to present the North American Wetlands Conservation Act Progress Report, 2008-2009.

This report confirms the Act’s effectiveness at stimulating the development of public-private partnerships that work to conserve the continent’s wetlands and associated uplands for migratory birds – a shared resource among the United States, Canada and Mexico.

With this report, we also commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the North American Wetlands Conservation Act. The Act’s passage in 1989 ushered in a new era of conservation partnerships aimed at protecting, restoring and enhancing habitat to benefit waterfowl, and other migratory bird species and wildlife that depend on wetlands.

With the help of Act grants, hundreds of partnerships—involving governmental agencies, private landowners, sportsmen’s groups, conservation organizations, schools, small businesses, tribes, research institutions, corporations and many more—have brought long-term benefits to migratory birds, fish, and other wildlife through projects that conserve habitat on both private and public lands.

From the Yucatan peninsula to the boreal forest of Canada, partnerships have leveraged $1 billion in Act- funded grants with more than $2 billion in matching funds, affecting more than 25 million acres across the continent.

In the pages that follow, you can read more about the achievements of some of these remarkable projects and the partnerships that are responsible for them.

The North American Wetlands Conservation Act continues to be a highly successful, voluntary, nonregulatory and cost-effective mechanism to help meet conservation needs across the continent. Its success in the past two decades is a testament to the power of strong partnerships dedicated to wildlife conservation.

“This marks the beginning of a new approach to international wetlands conservation.” --Interior Secretary Manuel Lujan December 1989

In 1989, Congress passed the North American Wetlands Conservation Act, declaring that maintaining healthy populations of birds in North America depends on “the protection, restoration, and management of wetland ecosystems and associated habitats in Canada, as well as in the United States and Mexico.”

Two decades later, grants made under the Act have supported thousands of cooperative projects across North America, leveraged billions in partner dollars and affected some 25 million acres of bird habitat -- making it a true conservation success story.

From the Baja Peninsula to Newfoundland, the North American Wetlands Conservation Act has made an extraordinary difference in continental bird habitat conservation, bringing together partners who, though often diverse in mission, are genuinely committed to conserving wetlands and associated uplands for migratory birds and the hundreds of other species that depend on these habitats.

photo: C. Santerre 2 Building on cooperation among the United States, Canada and Mexico for bird conservation established by the 1986 North American Waterfowl Management Plan, an international agreement that provides a strategy for long-term protection of wetlands and associated upland habitats, the Act was designed to encourage partnerships to conserve wetland ecosystems across the continent to benefit not just waterfowl but also other migratory birds, fish and wildlife.

Introduced in Congress by Senators George Mitchell and John H. Chaffee and Congressmen Silvio O. Conte, Robert D. Davis and John Dingell and signed into law on Dec. 13, 1989, the Act also created the North American Wetlands Conservation Council, which reviews and selects grant proposals for funding.

When Congress reauthorized the Act in 2002, it expanded the Act’s scope to include the conservation of all habitats and birds associated with wetlands ecosystems, not just waterfowl. The Act was last reauthorized in 2006.

Partners in Act-funded projects have ranged from land trusts to timber companies, working ranches to duck clubs, municipal governments to Native American tribes, and chambers of commerce to charitable foundations. Federal agencies from the Department of Agriculture to the Defense Department have participated in Act-funded projects.

North American Wetlands Conservation Act grants have ranged from a few thousand dollars to more than a million dollars. Partnerships established to accomplish Act-funded projects often endure for years, winning repeated grants to continue work on long-term wetlands habitat projects.

The year 2009 saw two milestones for the North American Wetlands Conservation Act and the thousands of partners who have participated in Act-sponsored grants. Just three months shy of the Act’s twentieth anniversary, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced the billionth dollar in Act grants had been awarded.

“Today we mark an historic milestone in for what is not only one of our nation’s most effective conservation laws but also one of its most effective conservation partnerships,” Salazar said. “While the federal government has made more than $1 billion in grants, our partners have contributed more than $2 billion in matching funds to conserve, enhance, and restore vital wetlands that provide critical habitat for fish and wildlife.”

In the pages to follow, you will read about some examples of NAWCA-supported partnership projects in the United States, Canada and Mexico. These are just a few of the thousands of success stories that have contributed to the Act’s legacy of conservation success over the past twenty years.

North Sacramento Valley Wetland Habitat – Phases I through IV

Grantee: California Waterfowl Association (4 grants)

It is estimated that 60 percent of the Pacific Flyway’s waterfowl population winters in or migrates through California’s Central Valley, making the area one of the most important to wildlife on the West Coast. Even as the human population continues to expand, California’s natural wetlands have declined by more than 90 percent, from an estimated 5 million acres to less than 450,000 acres. In the Central Valley alone, it is estimated that only 205,000 wetland acres remain, a result of land conversion to agriculture, urban development, water diversions and flood control. California Waterfowl Association and its partners in the North Sacramento Valley Wetlands Habitat projects have developed successful collaborative efforts that are accomplishing great things for wildlife.

Since 2004, partners in this multi-phase project have been working to protect, restore and enhance key wetlands, uplands and riparian habitat in this prime waterfowl territory. Matching $3 million in grants with resources totaling more than $7.5 million, partners have already acquired fee title or easements on more than 900 acres, restored more than 8,700 acres and enhanced over 13,200 acres.

Projects have involved contouring agricultural fields, building new levees, installing water-control structures, improving water- delivery systems, developing new water sources, rehabilitating degraded wetlands, planting riparian trees and seeding upland areas. Thirty-year management agreements with landowners will secure habitat values achieved by partners’ conservation efforts for the long-term benefit of birds and other wildlife.

The North Sacramento Valley Wetlands Habitat project continues today. Partners aim to acquire, restore and enhance more than 6,600 additional acres of wetlands and associated upland habitats to benefit high priority migratory waterfowl and other wetland dependent species throughout the valley. photos: C. Santerre 4 Mississippi Upper Pascagoula Connector Project

Grantee: The Nature Conservancy

The Pascagoula is the largest unimpeded river in the contiguous United States. Known as Mississippi’s “Singing River,” the Pascagoula flows freely through the heart of the state’s ancient bottomland swamps before reaching the Gulf of Mexico. More than 325 species of birds call the Pascagoula River home throughout the year and the Pascagoula Watershed is considered one of the most important areas for wetland birds in North America.

In 2002, The Nature Conservancy received a NAWCA Standard Grant to acquire 780 acres of private lands that— together with public lands—connect to form a contiguous conservation corridor the entire 80-mile length of the Pascagoula. Work enabled by the NAWCA grant helped to fill the last major gap in habitat conservation from the Pascagoula headwaters to its tidal marshes.

After acquiring the property, The Nature Conservancy, along with state agencies and other partners, restored more than 200 acres, allowing the forest habitat to be more resilient to environmental disturbance. Hardwood reforestation helped establish more tree species diversity and benefitted the wildlife that depend on the area.

Grantee: The Coalition for Buzzards Bay (9 grants)

On April 27, 2003, the Tank Barge Bouchard No. 120 struck rocks south of Westport, Mass., and released an estimated 98,000 gallons of fuel oil in Buzzards Bay – affecting wildlife, salt marshes, rocky shorelines, recreational beaches, and shellfish beds. In 2004, a $10 million criminal settlement agreement with the barge’s owner was finalized.

Local land trusts and environmental organizations, with state support, pooled their resources to match the grant funds available for wetland projects in Buzzards Bay. The Coalition for Buzzards Bay stepped up to lead the effort as grant recipient for nine NAWCA Standard Grants and one NAWCA Small Grant.

Since 2005, public and private partners have matched NAWCA grant funds with more than $23 million for projects affecting thousands of acres in southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. To date, projects have resulted in

Ongoing projects include an effort to acquire and restore eight sites, permanently protecting a mix of freshwater wetlands, uplands and riparian habitat in the Buzzards Bay watershed, and restoring degraded salt marsh habitat. Partners are helping to safeguard the bay from conversion to residential development and aiding in its post-spill recovery.

Among the accomplishments of project partners since 2005:

• A $1 million grant was matched by more than $3 million to acquire 215 acres in perpetual conservation easements along the East Branch of the Westport River, an area highly threatened by residential development. The acreage acquired includes wooded wetlands such as Atlantic white cedar swamp, open fields, shrub lands and forested uplands.

• In the Nasketucket Bay II project, partners matched a $1 million grant with $5.2 million to acquire 106 acres of salt marsh, wooded wetlands, freshwater marsh and upland forest, and obtain a conservation easement over another 17 acres. A donated easement on 53 acres, including 23 acres of coastal wetlands and 30 acres of fields and upland forest, rounded out this project.

• Using a $1 million grant and $3.3 million in matching funds, partners permanently protected wetlands along Dike Creek that will continue to help filter pollutants. Protecting these wetlands also safeguards them against conversion to residential development—another primary threat to the area’s habitats and wildlife.

• Using a $1 million grant and more than $3.5 million in matching funds, partners acquired wetlands and associated uplands in conservation restriction and fee title, including some 3,250 feet of frontage on the east branch of the Westport River. This rich estuarine ecosystem is used by hundreds of birds and marine organisms, including large numbers of American black duck and the highest concentration of nesting osprey in New England. photos: A.York 7 Mobile-Tensaw Delta, Phases I through IV

Grantee: Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources -- Forever Wild Program (4 grants)

A decade ago, a partnership formed to protect habitat in the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta, one of Alabama’s most significant ecosystems for migratory birds and other wetland-dependant species. Located at the mouth of Mobile Bay in southern Alabama, the delta contains bottomland hardwood and cypress forests, swamps, fresh marshes, and riparian habitats that are crucial to migrant birds, especially those making the long trip across the Gulf of Mexico.

The delta and the adjacent Mobile Bay estuary comprise one of the largest wetland ecosystems in the United States. An area of 190,000 acres of the delta was designated as a National Natural Landmark by the National Park Service in 1974, and four sites within the delta are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Spearheaded by the State of Alabama’s Forever Wild Program, partners in the Mobile-Tensaw Delta projects have more than tripled the investment of NAWCA funds, leveraging federal grants totaling $4 million with more than $12.4 million in partner contributions since 2000. Through four project phases, partners have acquired and protected thousands of acres in the Mobile-Tensaw Delta. More than 65 species of rare, threatened and endangered plants and animals have benefited from the acquisition and conservation of these unique wetlands, including alligator snapping turtles, swallow-tailed kites, osprey, bald eagles, green-fly orchids, blue suckers and black bears.

Humans have also benefitted from the efforts to conserve the delta’s habitats. Lands acquired throughout the project will be accessible for hunting, conservation education, primitive camping, research, bird watching, canoeing, fishing and boating.

Grantee: The Teton Regional Land Trust, Inc.

In 2003, a partnership came together to conserve and protect the wetlands of the Henry’s Fork watershed in eastern Idaho. These wetlands are among the most significant of the region’s ecological features, providing crucial migration stopovers, nesting grounds and foraging areas for 550,000 ducks, geese and swans, and for 200,000 other wetland-dependent migratory birds representing 46 species.

When the partnership received a NAWCA Standard Grant in 2003, only 3.5 percent of the watershed’s 96,000 wetland acres were permanently protected. Partners knew that safeguarding the remaining high-quality wetland areas and restoring degraded ones would help ensure the ability of Henry’s Fork habitats to provide for the long-term needs of resident and migratory wildlife.

In 2005, led by the Teton Regional Land Trust, the partnership to protect the wetlands of Henry’s Fork leveraged partner match contributions and received another NAWCA grant to continue its work.

Through permanent conservation easements, fee acquisitions and targeted restoration projects, the project protected and restored a number of different types of productive wetlands and associated uplands, exceeding its own acquisition and restoration goals for that project phase by more than 800 acres – ultimately protecting more than 4,000 acres.

Perhaps most remarkably, the vast majority of the habitat protected and restored through the Henry’s Fork project came via easements donated by or acquired from private landowners who recognized the benefits their land had for wildlife.

Grantees: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program (6 grants) North Dakota Fish and Game Department (1 grant) Ducks Unlimited, Inc. (1 grant)

The importance of prairie habitat to waterfowl cannot be understated. The “Duck Factory” of the Upper Midwest plays a critical role in the survival of waterfowl populations. With its abundance and diversity of wetlands, North Dakota is the leading duck producer in the lower 48 states and a key migration area, providing food and rest for those species heading south for the winter and those heading to northern breeding grounds each spring.

In the mid-1980s, changing land use, low nesting success and prolonged drought on the Canadian and U.S. prairies reduced waterfowl numbers severely. Initiated in 1989, the ongoing Chase Lake Prairie Project is a national flagship project of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan, helping to work toward meeting the goals of the plan and allowing scientists to apply the latest waterfowl management techniques on some of the best remaining waterfowl habitat in North America.

The Chase Lake project not only benefits waterfowl, but many other species of resident and migratory wildlife, and it shows that sound land and water conservation practices can benefit our natural resources and help sustain people.

Flann 10 NAWCA grants have played a key role in helping partners to achieve numerous milestones on the way to long-term conservation of the prairie potholes in North Dakota. Eight grant phases of the Chase Lake Prairie NAWCA Project have resulted in the protection, restoration, enhancement and/or creation of more than a quarter of a million acres of habitat. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program, which provides technical assistance to private landowners who want to conserve wildlife habitat on their land, has been a key player in the Chase Lake Prairie NAWCA Project, serving as the grantee for six of the project phases.

Among other achievements of this remarkable partnership effort:

• More than $5 million in NAWCA grant funds have been matched with $7.5 million from partners.

• More than 18,000 acres of cropland have been restored to prairie grasslands with Chase Lake NAWCA grants to provide habitat for ground nesting ducks and other migratory birds.

• Chase Lake NAWCA grants are funding the acquisition of perpetual USFWS grassland easements in an effort to protect the very best of remaining habitat for ducks and other migratory birds. More than a quarter of a million acres of grassland in the U.S. Prairie Pothole Region has been converted to cropland in just the last five years.

• More than 55,000 acres of native prairie-wetland complexes have been perpetually protected with NAWCA funds.

• During the most recent phases of the Chase Lake Project, accomplishments include the acquisition of nearly 60,000 acres of wetlands and associated uplands through perpetual easements, leases and donations; restoration of more than 500 acres; enhancement of some 25,000 acres; and creation of more than 150 wetland acres.

Grantee: Ducks Unlimited, Inc.

Formed by glaciers thousands of years ago, southern Wisconsin’s Horicon Marsh is one of the largest freshwater marshes in the United States. The 32,000-acre marsh provides habitat for endangered species and serves as a critical rest stop for thousands of migrating ducks and Canada geese.

The area encompassed by the Horicon Marsh Headwaters has lost 99 percent of its pre-settlement prairie and savannah, and more than half of its wetlands. The area continues to suffer the effects of drainage attempts in the early 20th century; ditches interrupt the hydrologic cycle and flow in these marshes. As a result, thousands of acres of these prime wetlands continue to be drained and degraded.

Bringing together the resources of private and public partners to leverage NAWCA funding, the Horicon Marsh Headwaters project sought to protect and restore wetlands and associated grasslands to provide needed breeding and migration habitat for waterfowl, shorebirds, neotropical songbirds, threatened and endangered species, and other wildlife.

Partners took a landscape-scale approach to habitat restoration and management in the headwaters area, incorporating restoration on a patchwork of wetlands and grasslands, in support of the core habitat that is Horicon Marsh. Over a five-year period, projects supported by NAWCA grants have conserved 2,274 acres of wetlands and associated grasslands on public and private land throughout the headwaters.

Francis Marion National Forest

Grantee: U.S. Forest Service

One of the most biologically and ecologically diverse forests in the Southeast, South Carolina’s Francis Marion National Forest is home to more than 30 natural communities and more than 1,600 plant species, and serves as important coastal stopover, breeding and wintering habitat for ducks, geese, swans and many other bird species. With the help of a Small Grant awarded in 2008, the U.S. Forest Service joined with partners to help protect the forest from urban encroachment. Through this project, the Forest Service will acquire a 57.8-acre property known as the Walleye Tract and will protect, via donated conservation easements, an additional 123 acres of key wetland habitat.

Aside from its value to avian life – more than 250 species of birds alone have been documented there – Francis Marion is rich with other wetland-dependent species, including amphibians and reptiles. The wetlands of the Walleye Tract support a number of priority species, making its preservation key to maintaining biodiversity in the forest itself.

Within the forest boundary, federally owned tracts fall within a mosaic of public and private lands. Urban sprawl presents serious challenges to maintaining natural ecosystem functions, and the forest is at the whim of natural disasters, as well. In 1989, Hurricane Hugo destroyed vast numbers of overstory trees, in some cases decimating entire forested stands, ultimately removing more than 50,000 acres of the pine tree canopy.

Projects such as this aim to reclaim the forest by protecting habitat and allowing the Forest Service to manage for the wide diversity of wildlife that calls the forest home.

Grantee: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

At one time, Hawaii’s wetlands spanned some 60,000 acres. Today, the state has lost more than 12 percent of its wetland acreage and nearly a third of its natural lowland wetlands. The remaining wetlands cover less than 3 percent of Hawaii’s surface area -- but they provide essential habitat for plant and animal species endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. Unfortunately, much of this remaining wetland habitat has been degraded, posing challenges for conserving Hawaii’s rich native wildlife heritage.

With 1,175 acres of wetland habitat protected, principally at the Hanalei and Hulē`ia national wildlife refuges, the island of Kauai boasts of the most wetland acreage within Hawaii. Because of prior restoration efforts, Kauai is also free of the Indian mongoose, making the island a last refuge for many ground-nesting birds. Kauai’s refuges remain home to five of the six endangered waterbirds in Hawaii: the Hawaiian coot, Hawaiian moorhen, koloa maoli (Hawaiian duck), Hawaiian stilt and the Nēnē (Hawaiian goose).

In 2007, the Kauai refuges received a Small Grant to continue creating and restoring wetland habitat to accommodate increasing numbers of endangered species. Partnering with Ducks Unlimited, the State of Hawaii, the Kauai Public Land Trust, Kilauea Point Natural History Association and the refuge’s volunteer program, among others, the refuge will restore, protect and manage 17 acres of wetland habitat at Hanalei NWR and 23 acres at Hulē`ia NWR.

Restoring these wetland areas will directly benefit all of the wetlands-associated migratory and local birds that inhabit and frequent Hanalei and Hulē`ia refuges – a small step toward preserving and restoring more of Hawaii’s precious wetland heritage. photos: National Resources Conservation Service 14 North Bay Grays Harbor Coastal Preservation Project

Grantee: Cascade Land Conservancy

Grays Harbor has been described as the largest and highest quality estuarine system in Washington and Oregon. Situated at the mouth of the Chehalis River, which drains the second largest watershed in Washington state, Grays Harbor still contains tens of thousands of acres of healthy estuarine wetland habitat, despite surrounding development. The harbor and its shorelines provide critical feeding habitat for waterfowl and shorebirds migrating along the Pacific Flyway.

During the fall migration, more than 100,000 ducks and geese pass through the North Bay of Grays Harbor. Thousands of northern pintail and American wigeon are found in the Grays Harbor estuary and adjacent freshwater wetlands. A majority of Pacific brant on the West Coast migrates through; thousands of green-winged teal use the salt and freshwater marshes during the fall migration. In short, Grays Harbor is a haven for waterfowl and the North Bay shoreline, salt marsh and forested wetlands support peregrine falcons, bald eagles and marbled murrelet.

Building on its work with state and federal agencies, non-profits, and foundations to protect remaining wild shoreline of the North Bay, the Cascade Land Conservancy joined with the State of Washington and the Wildlife Forever Foundation to acquire 60 acres of forested coastal wetlands near the shore of North Bay -- one of the last remaining pieces to complete the permanent preservation of the bay’s northwest shore.

The acres acquired with this Small Grant are adjacent to the North Bay Natural Area Preserve, created by the Washington State Natural Heritage Program to protect one of the highest quality examples in Washington of a low elevation sphagnum bog and low elevation freshwater wetland. To assist in the completion of the preserve, and to expand the area of protection along the North Bay shoreline, Cascade Land Conservancy partnered with the state in 2003 to purchase and protect 91 acres on the west side of the North Bay Natural Area Preserve.

In a further effort to expand the protected shoreline and wetlands on North Bay, Cascade Land Conservancy acquired a substantial adjacent property previously owned by Northshore Rod and Gun Club. The final piece of this conservation mosaic fell into place in 2005, with the help of the NAWCA Small Grant.

Canadian Prairie/Parkland and Western Boreal Habitat Program

Grantee: Ducks Unlimited Canada, Inc.

Within the vast boreal forest – the world’s largest land-based ecosystem, covering fully two-thirds of Canada – and across the vast Canadian prairie, NAWCA is helping to support a partnership effort to conserve habitat for 14 million breeding ducks and other migratory birds. More than $48 million in standard grants is being matched by $123 million in partner funding from U.S. and Canadian federal, state, territorial and provincial agencies, and private organizations dedicated to making inroads in protecting, managing and enhancing prairie habitat in the boreal forest.

Spearheaded by Ducks Unlimited Canada, the multi-year effort will help achieve the goals and objectives of the Prairie Habitat Joint Venture and ultimately help fulfil goals embodied in the North American Waterfowl Management Plan in one of the most productive habitats on the continent.

The Canadian Prairie/Parkland and Western Boreal Habitat Program is already achieving success. In 2008- 2009, partners secured a total of 120,522 new wetland and upland habitat acres (48,773 hectares). Enhancement/ restoration actions occurred on 29,422 habitat acres (11,906 hectares). Ongoing management activities continued on a growing five-million-acre habitat project inventory.

Along with active habitat securement, enhancement and management, partners are also working to increase scientific knowledge that relates waterfowl productivity to landscape conditions in the prairie and parkland. Partners are also building goodwill and support among landowners by demonstrating how waterfowl and agriculture can work together, and promoting sustainable farming practices and direct securement programs.

Grantee: Ducks Unlimited Canada, Inc.

In the Eastern Provinces of Canada, NAWCA grants are helping to fund the ongoing Eastern Habitat Joint Venture Wetlands Conservation Project, aimed at retaining existing wetland habitat, restoring altered and degraded wetland habitats, and raising the waterfowl carrying capacity of the landscape. Conservation actions focus in priority waterfowl areas in the provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario. The Eastern Habitat Joint Venture represents one third of Canada’s landmass and contains 65 percent of the nation’s population.

Partners in the Eastern Habitat Joint Venture Wetlands Conservation Projects include Ducks Unlimited, the Canadian Wildlife Service, Wildlife Habitat Canada and private landowners. Total partner funding of more than $43 million has joined NAWCA funding of more than $10 million.

Habitat restoration and enhancement activities through the Eastern Habitat Joint Venture projects focus primarily on actions that improve duckling survival and/or increase the attractiveness of landscapes to prospecting waterfowl pairs. The restoration program is essential to creating habitat conditions that will, over time, increase waterfowl populations to goal levels. The other main conservation focus is on retaining critical high quality wetland and associated upland habitat, focusing on the protection of high quality waterfowl habitats that are at substantial risk of loss or degradation and are essential to maintenance of current waterfowl population levels.

This multi-year effort benefits waterfowl in the Atlantic, Mississippi and to a lesser extent Central flyway. Conservation actions will also benefit a multitude of other wetland dependant species.

Habitat Restoration: Restoration and Acquisition of Wetlands for the Conservation of the Rio Grande Delta

Grantee: Natural Spaces and Sustainable Development

Because of its connection to the internationally important Laguna Madre wetland ecosystem, conserving the freshwaters of the Rio Grande Delta is a key part of maintaining the health of the Laguna Madre. More than 160 bird species have been recorded in the delta alone, more than half of which are migratory birds that winter in the delta’s rich wetlands.

Since 1970, the delta has undergone changes that have degraded the complex system of wetlands, lagoons and dunes, affecting the diversity and number of migratory birds. This project is a part of a long-term strategy that aims to restore nearly 50,000 acres of habitat for migratory birds in the Rio Grande Delta.

Project partners restored the surface areas of the Jasso and Saltillo lagoons and 1,762 acres of wetland habitat, restored 1,360 acres of wetlands in the El Diablo Lagoons, and will work with state and municipal governments to protect these restored areas for at least 50 years to be managed for migratory birds.

Grantee: Arizona Fish and Game Department (6 grants)

Since its successful pilot in 1998 in the State of Veracruz, this innovative wetland conservation training workshop has been replicated in ten states throughout the country. Supported by NAWCA grants, the two-week workshops train Mexican natural resource managers and students on the identification, conservation and management of wetlands; launch a “Wetlands Celebration Month” campaign in the workshop’s host city to raise public awareness about the importance of local wetlands, migratory waterfowl, and wildlife; and strengthen the capacity of local groups involved in managing wetlands and associated habitats.

In 2009, partners conducted the program in Sinaloa, a state where more than 3.3 million acres of wetlands provide essential habitat for at least 50 percent of the Pacific Flyway’s migratory birds. In 2010, partners held the program in Guanajuato, focusing for the first time on an area of the central highland wetlands that serve as an important resting and refueling area for migratory birds of the Central Flyway.

Since the first workshops, technical sessions and symposia, the program has trained more than 450 resource managers from key government agencies and non-goverment organizations. Partners also developed the first wetlands training manual in Spanish and created state wetlands committees for the states of Veracruz, Jalisco, Chiapas and Baja California Sur.

Through the courses, partners have generated enthusiasm and public support for “Wetlands Celebration Month,” garnering the direct participation from the governors from the hosting states who officially declared a full month to promote wetland conservation. Competition among states to host the course each year is an important indicator of both the success of the course and the need for its continued support. photos: Arizona Fish and Game Department 19 Looking Ahead to the Next 20 Years

Further wetland loss in the Prairie Pothole region could lead to significant reductions in breeding waterfowl and other species that thrive in the wetland-grassland habitat on the northern Great Plains of North America.

Without a doubt, the North American Wetlands Conservation Act is a conservation success story. The protection, restoration, enhancement and creation of more than 25 million acres of wetlands and associated habitats attest to the Act’s conservation reach. In addition, the program’s ability to leverage $1 billion in grant funds with more than twice that in matching funds testifies to the power of partnerships.

The Act has played a key role in building partnerships for wetlands conservation. More than 4,000 partners have been involved in NAWCA projects since 1989 – spurred to action by the continuing loss of wetland habitat and the opportunity, through NAWCA grants, to become a part of efforts to stem that loss.

Two decades of Act-funded partnership projects have had a positive impact on North America’s wetland bird populations as well. The 2009 State of the Birds report highlighted wetland birds as an example of how species declines have been slowed or even reversed by habitat restoration and protection. The report affirms that wetland conservation, including those efforts initiated through NAWCA, have helped wetland birds and waterfowl fare better than other at- risk bird groups.

This news is encouraging, but much wetland conservation work remains to be done. Wetlands are ecologically and economically among the most important ecosystems on the planet. Yet adverse actions, both manmade and natural, continue to threaten these systems. Urban growth,

photo: top; Ducks Unlimited, Inc., left; Arizona Fish and Game Department 20 agricultural practices, and energy development have led to persistent encroachment into wetland areas. Threats such as climate change and its potential to adversely affect the landscape will further degrade wetland habitats.

In the United States alone, we have lost 52 percent of our original wetland resources over the past 230-plus years. NAWCA will continue to be essential in building and sustaining the partnerships necessary to protect and restore our remaining wetland resources in the face of these stresses.

Today, more than ever, we need to look at both the challenges and opportunities for conservation on a broad landscape scale. International cooperation and partnerships are key to addressing our shared migratory bird resources and the habitats on which they depend. NAWCA’s success provides a model for how such international conservation can be encouraged, supported, and accomplished.

NAWCA will continue to play an important role in wetland conservation as we deal with the complex issue of climate change and the long term threats that sea-level rise and changes in temperature and rainfall pose to wetlands. These essential habitats are important to wildlife, but they also provide vital services on which humans depend – buffering storm surges, controlling floods, reducing erosion, recharging groundwater.

These are the reasons that NAWCA partners will continue their wetland conservation work for the next 20 years – and beyond.

Each year, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in conjunction with states, the Canadian Wildlife Service, provincial governments, and other partners, conducts breeding-ground surveys to estimate the size of duck breeding populations.

In May and June, pilot-biologists survey breeding waterfowl from the north-central U.S. throughout Canada and Alaska. Survey biologists estimate numbers and species from airplanes flown along transects. A portion of the transects are then surveyed from the ground by biologists. This is the most extensive wildlife survey in the world, and its results are a major factor used in setting annual duck-hunting regulations.

Conducted nationwide each January, the Midwinter Survey provides information on population trends for some species, distribution on the wintering grounds and habitat use. Many geese and ducks can’t be counted in the spring and summer on breeding areas because they can’t be surveyed using airplanes or they nest in remote and inaccessible Arctic areas. Abundance indices for these species are obtained from these January surveys on wintering areas.

Habitat conditions at the time of the breeding waterfowl surveys in May 2008 were characterized by a delayed spring compared to preceding years, and drought in many parts of the traditional survey area contrasted with record snow and rainfall in the eastern survey area. The total pond estimate, which combines Prairie Canada and the United States, was below the 2007 estimate, and below the long-term average, as well. However, in May 2009, habitat conditions were characterized by above-average moisture across the southern portions of the traditional survey area, good conditions in the eastern survey area and late spring conditions across northern survey areas. The total pond estimate for 2009 was above the 2008 estimate and the long-term average.

The total number of ducks surveyed in 2008 was 37.3 million in the traditional survey area, about 9 percent lower than the 2007 estimate, but about 11 percent above the long-term average, which is measured beginning with 1955. In 2009, the total number of ducks surveyed was 42 million, a 13 percent increase over the 2008 estimate, and 25 percent above the long-term average. Seven of the ten most common duck species exceeded North American Waterfowl Management Plan goals: mallard, gadwall, green-winged teal, blue-winged/cinnamon teal, northern shoveler, redhead, and canvasback. Northern pintail and scaup populations are below Plan objectives; populations remain depressed and concern lingers about their status.

Mallard abundance was 8.5 million in 2009 — a 10 percent increase over the 2008 estimate and 13 percent above the long- term average. In 2009, estimates of mallards, scaup, scoters, green-winged teal, American wigeon, bufflehead, American black duck, ring-necked duck, mergansers, hooded, goldeneye and Barrow’s were all similar to their 2007 and 2008 estimates. Most goose and swan populations in North America continue to thrive. Populations of Mississippi Flyway Giant, Atlantic and Aleutian Canada geese; western Arctic/Wrangle Island snow geese; and Pacific white-fronted geese all showed significant positive trends over the most recent ten-year period. Abundance estimates for tundra swan populations decreased in 2008 from 2007 levels, but increased in 2009 from 2008 levels. No populations showed a significant negative ten-year trend.

The dusky Canada goose population remains a concern. The 2009 spring population estimate was 6,700 dusky Canada goose, 26 percent lower than the 2008 estimate and the lowest number on record since 1986, when survey methods were comparable. Aleutian Canada geese, which were listed as endangered in 1967, have increased an average of 10 percent during the last 10 winter surveys and are above Plan objectives.

Estimates of mid-continent white-fronted geese populations declined by an average rate of 3 percent from 1999 to 2008. Overabundant goose populations (i.e., several populations of temperate-nesting Canada geese, greater and lesser snow photo: Marco Antonio Gonzalez 34 geese, and Ross’s geese) continue to affect habitats as well as human interests, and the Service and states have implemented harvest strategies to reduce the abundance of these populations. While these strategies have reduced the populations’ rate of growth, some populations may still be increasing. Additional monitoring data is required to determine whether these populations can be held in check through the regulatory options pursued thus far.

Trends of other migratory bird species vary widely. Of all species groups, grassland nesting birds have exhibited the most consistent negative population trends since the late 1960s, with 64 percent of these species showing significant population declines and 7 percent showing significant increasing trends. These patterns can be explained by extensive loss or degradation of grassland habitat from agricultural uses as well as by increases in haying. Restoration of native grasses or planting of dense-nesting cover funded through the North American Wetlands Conservation Act has produced positive effects on the density of nesting birds and nest success in the Prairie Pothole Region. This and other critical programs, such as the North American Waterfowl Management Plan, Conservation Reserve Program and Partners in Flight, provide hope for these beleaguered populations.

About 34 percent of wetland/open-water-dependent migratory bird species show significant increasing long-term population trends and about 15 percent exhibit significant declining long-term population trends. However, data from the North American Breeding Bird Survey are poor for many of these species, and conclusions must be viewed with caution.

Throughout North America, there are significant decreasing population trends for about 36 percent of species breeding in successional or scrub habitats, while about 30 percent of species breeding in woodland habitats show significant increasing population trends from 1966.

However, 30 species that breed in woodland habitats have been exhibiting significant decreasing population trends over the 41-year survey period. Population trends for about 40 percent of species breeding in urban habitats are significantly declining over the long term, while about 20 percent of urban-nesting species are significantly increasing across NorthAmerica.

The above species groups contain short-distance migrants and Neotropical migrants. Short-distance migrants breed and winter north of the United States-Mexico border, while Neotropical migrants winter south of the border. About 37 percent of these species exhibit significant decreasing trends. Regional population trends of Neotropical migrants are complex and patterns are difficult to discern. Thirty-four percent of Neotropical migrant species have exhibited significant negative population trends since the late 1960s.

According to the 2009 State of the Birds report produced by the Service and its conservation partners, “Although many wetland birds show troubling declines, conservation programs have protected millions of acres and contributed to thriving populations of herons, egrets, hunted waterfowl, and other birds.”

The report points out that of 163 bird species that breed in freshwater wetlands, nearly a quarter are species of conservation concern. Half of the remaining high-concern species are shorebirds that breed in the arctic, boreal forest, or grasslands. The wetland birds indicator, based on data for 139 species, shows a steady increase beginning in the late 1970s, coinciding with major policy shifts from draining to protecting wetlands. Dramatic increases in many wetland generalist species, as well as arctic-nesting geese and cavity-nesting ducks, contribute to this overall trend.

For many species, the extent to which population trends are driven by the destruction and degradation of wintering habitats south of the United States is unknown. However, experts believe habitat loss south of the U.S. border is contributing to the decline of some of these species. International cooperation is needed to assure the conservation of habitats used by migratory birds throughout their annual cycles. Through continental programs such as the North American Waterfowl Management Plan and North American Wetlands Conservation Act Grants Programs that international cooperation can be fostered. photo: Donna Dewhurst 35 International Agreements [Section 10(1)(C)]

In its 20 years, the North American Wetlands Conservation Act has facilitated hundreds of partnerships involving federal, provincial, state and local agencies, conservation organizations, academic institutions and private individuals throughout North America.

In Canada, 150 partners in 484 projects have received more than $347 million in grants. They have contributed another $347 million in matching funds to affect 15.6 million acres of habitat.

Mexican partners have received more than $33 million in Act grants and have contributed more than $51 million. Their efforts on 231 projects have involved the protection, restoration, and/or enhancement of habitat important to all migratory birds, as well as environmental education, training, and sustainable-use studies. Partners have affected more than 2.4 million acres of wetlands and associated uplands in Mexico.

A relatively new major international initiative that would complement NAWCA is the Western Hemisphere Migratory Species Initiative (WHMSI). WHMSI was created in 2003 by representatives from 25 nations and over 40 international wildlife conservation groups and stakeholders from Western Hemisphere countries to develop a cooperative hemispheric mechanism to conserve shared migratory species.

WHMSI partners seek to contribute significantly to conserving the migratory species of theWestern Hemisphere by strengthening communication and cooperation among nations.

The North American Wetlands Conservation Act established the North American Wetlands Conservation Council, comprising nine members who review and recommend grant funding for wetland protection and restoration projects in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The Council provides recommendations to the Migratory Bird Conservation Commission, which provides final funding approval for these projects.

The Council has been widely viewed as a leader in international habitat conservation activities through its implementation of the Act.

The Director of the Fish and Wildlife Service, the Executive Director of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and ex-officio members representing the governments of Canada and Mexico are permanent members of the NAWCC, and are not included in this list.

The Migratory Bird Conservation Commission was established in 1929 with the passage of the Migratory Bird Conservation Act to consider and approve any areas of land and/or water recommended for acquisition or lease by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. In addition to approving purchase and lease prices, the Commission considers the establishment of new waterfowl refuges. In 1989, the Commission acquired the additional responsibility to approve grant project funding under the North American Wetlands Conservation Act.
