Wetlands America Trust

Where ambition and conservation meet

The Wetlands America Trust is pioneering a new era of wetlands conservation.
To date, we've conserved nearly a billion acres of North American wetlands. And we're just getting started.

Conservation for a Continent

In May 2026, Ducks Unlimited, Ducks Unlimited Canada, Ducks Unlimited de México, and Wetlands America Trust celebrated the successful completion of their historic comprehensive campaign, Conservation for a Continent, shattering its original $3 billion goal by generating an extraordinary $4.06 billion over the course of the campaign — turning Ducks Unlimited's vision of flourishing wetlands into a lasting reality for wetland conservation.
