These funds are authorized under the North American Wetlands Conservation Act, a federal grant program dedicated to the conservation of wetland habitats for migratory birds and their habitats. These grants increase bird populations and wetland habitat, while supporting local economies and American traditions such as hunting, fishing and birdwatching.
