How your support makes a difference

When you donate to or fundraise for Ducks Unlimited Canada, you help us save some of Canada’s most important—and most threatened—habitat.

Making a real difference for Canadians

Ducks Unlimited Canada is conserving and restoring wetlands—more wetlands than any other organization in Canada.

When you donate or fundraise for DUC, you help us save some of Canada’s most important—and most threatened—habitat. Wetlands are scientifically proven to:

Help clean our water, by filtering out pollutants.
Protect our communities, by mitigating the effects of flooding, drought and erosion.
Benefit our climate, by capturing and storing carbon.
Safeguard wildlife, by providing vital habitat for hundreds of species, including species at risk.

Wetlands are also incredible places to explore and enjoy nature. But these important ecosystems continued to be destroyed every day, all across Canada.

The progress we’ve made over the past 85 years adds up, and we continue striving to create the kind of large, landscape-level impact that’s needed to ensure the future health of our water, wildlife and communities.
