For more than 80 years, the Migratory Bird Conservation Program and the Federal Duck Stamp Program have helped secure key habitats to sustain migratory bird populations. These programs protect wetlands, which help dissipate storm water runoff, purify water supplies, and store flood water. As we look forward to the continuing conservation of these critical resources, we find inspiration in these programs’ extraordinary history of success.
