Transforming the goals of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan (Plan) into on-the-ground actions relies on a cooperative approach to conservation. The work is accomplished through partnerships called joint ventures.

Joint ventures are comprised of individuals, corporations, conservation organizations, and local, state, provincial, and federal agencies. Concerned with conserving migratory birds and their habitats, partners come together under the Plan to accomplish collectively what is often difficult or impossible to do individually.

There are currently 12 habitat joint ventures in the United States and 3 in Canada. One of the habitat joint ventures has international status (Canada/United States). Partners from Canada and the United States also support three species joint ventures.
