See the people and places that matter to wetlands conservation in DU Conserve Films. Ducks Unlimited's first Conserve film focuses on northern Canada's vast Boreal Forest. This area provides critical breeding habitat for North America's waterfowl populations.
Boreal wetlands, particularly peatlands, play an important role in regulating global climate by storing a tremendous amount of carbon. The more we learn about these wetlands, the better able we’ll be to conserve them and mitigate the effects of climate change.
Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) and the Akaitcho Treaty 8 Tribal Council have undertaken one of the largest, most innovative Indigenous-led land use planning projects in Canadian history. Together, they’re mapping 77 million acres (31 million hectares) of boreal wetlands in Akaitcho Néné, NWT.
The boreal forest is one of the most important ecosystems in the world. Canada’s boreal forest presents one of our best opportunities for conservation because of its biological, cultural and economic importance.
