Canadian Wetland Roundtable Reports

 

Since its launch in 2015, the Canadian Wetlands Roundtable model has proven the value of multi-stakeholder collaboration. To date, we have dedicated significant effort to understanding wetland conservation issues and building consensus around solutions. As the host of three expert workshops (sponsored by the Canadian Federation of Agriculture and Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) with financial support from Wildlife Habitat Canada), the Wetlands Roundtable has explored practical solutions to many of Canada’s key wetland conservation issues.

The Canadian Wetlands Roundtable has secured resources for workshops, and support and policy work to date with the financial assistance of Wildlife Habitat Canada and Ducks Unlimited Canada. We have also received significant professional and administrative support from Ducks Unlimited Canada and the Canadian Federation of Agriculture.
