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.
