Full Description
This book provides a compelling insider's account of The North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP), a groundbreaking initiative that has transformed avian conservation across the continent.
In the early 1980s, waterfowl conservation faced a dire crisis. By the mid-1980s, a bold and visionary idea took shape, culminating in the creation of The North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP). Now approaching its 40th anniversary, this extraordinary endeavour has conserved millions of habitat acres, mobilised billions of dollars in funding, and united thousands of partners from Latin America to the Arctic. Drawing on his experience as a founding member of the NAWMP science community, the author provides unparalleled insights into this remarkable conservation journey, honouring the visionaries who paved the way. Through a detailed exploration of NAWMP's origins, growth, achievements, and challenges, the book highlights the Plan's enduring legacy and its relevance to today's conservation efforts. It offers valuable lessons for those striving to replicate its success in protecting other migratory species. At a time of escalating ecological crises, NAWMP stands as a testament to what can be achieved when diverse stakeholders come together with determination and shared purpose. This book not only celebrates NAWMP's transformative impact but also inspires a new generation of large-scale, cooperative conservation initiatives.
This book is essential reading for conservation professionals, policymakers, natural resource students, and anyone passionate about protecting nature.
