Peer Review Reports
In 2017, Ducks Unlimited Canada commissioned several reports to assess the importance of boreal and mineral soil wetlands in the global carbon cycle. These reports included significant literature review to understand the opportunity for carbon storage and subsequently valuing that storage. Alberta NAWMP later commissioned a peer review of these reports which was completed in March 2020. The peer review, as well as the final reports are below.

Science Stories
All of our efforts have a foundation in solid scientific principles. Research and science lays the groundwork upon which our programs to conserve wetlands are developed and implemented. We work closely with the top waterfowl and wetland scientists and fund science projects related to our priorities each year.

Wetland Education Network
The Alberta NAWMP Partnership currently funds the Wetland Education Network, providing support for the network as it establishes its Action Groups and resources. The Alberta NAWMP Partnership also led a pilot for the Wetland Education Network in 2016 to identify sector wetland education and outreach needs. This work involved identifying potential wetland education tools and ways to share them. This work has continued beyond the pilot as the need for a network of this type in Alberta continues to be expressed. Action Groups (divided by sector) are working together on wetland education to network and share resources that have been identified as important by various stakeholders.
