Conserving Habitat

Without places to live and food to eat, fish and wildlife species can not exist. Hunters and anglers have long recognized that protecting habitat is fundamental to conserving wildlife and have steadfastly worked for habitat conservation. From duck stamps that conserve valuable wetland habitats to Farm Bill conservation programs to conservation tax incentives, sportsmen have led the charge on common sense habitat protection efforts. Members of the American Wildlife Conservation Partners work on a variety of policy decisions that impact fish and wildlife habitat.
