How We Do It
The Alberta NAWMP Partnership achieves its restoration and habitat retention goals through a broad mix of directed, science-based conservation activities, focused extension and communications endeavours, and proactive efforts to support conservation policy and legislation.
Alberta NAWMP at Work
The Alberta NAWMP Partnership was established in 1986 to help achieve the continental NAWMP goal of restoring waterfowl populations to average levels of the 1970s. At the time, waterfowl populations were declining across North America. Since then, the Alberta NAWMP Partnership has established unprecedented, cooperative approaches to delivering direct conservation programs, coordinating extension programs, addressing policy challenges, and building partnerships. Ultimately, the work of The Alberta NAWMP Partnership contributes to conserving Alberta’s rich biological diversity.
Accomplishments
The ground breaking partnership that makes the Alberta NAWMP possible has resulted in many accomplishments, helping us support continental conservation goals. Since 1986, through the collective efforts of our partners,more than $567 million has been spent to conserve over 3.1 million acres of waterfowl habitat in Alberta.
The annual Alberta NAWMP Progress Reviews provide a complete picture of the breadth and scope the activities and accomplishments of the Partnership in a given year.
As partners, we continually hone our efforts to make the best use of available resources. Our diverse initiatives and activities demonstrate our commitment to helping achieve the NAWMP goal of returning waterfowl populations to their average 1970s levels.
Programs
The Alberta NAWMP boasts a long-term, highly integrated working arrangement among our partners. These partners advance Alberta NAWMP habitat restoration and retention objectives through a broad mix of conservation activities that include direct programming, extension initiatives and policy support.
