Overview

The North American Wetlands Conservation Council (Canada) was established in 1990 by the federal Minister of the Environment to provide a national mechanism for the implementation of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP), and to take a leadership role in wetlands policy and awareness. NAWCC (Canada) provides leadership to the Canadian Habitat and Species Joint Ventures through which NAWMP goals are achieved. It also serves as the national coordinating committee for developing and implementing national level wetland policies and programs in Canada.
