Provide a brief description of your organization below: see "Description of Applicant" in Part 2 of Criteria and <br />Guidance for required information. <br />Ducks Unlimited, Inc. (DU) is a private not for profit (501(c)3) organization whose mission is to "conserve, <br />restore and manage wetlands and associated habitats for North America's waterfowl. These habitats also <br />benefit other wildlife and people." Established in 1937, DU was founded by a group of men who realized <br />the climatic impact of the "Dust Bowl" was having a devastating effect on waterfowl populations. They set <br />about to form an organization which has become the preeminent conservator of North American wetland <br />habitats. Wetlands are one of the most dynamic natural systems on earth, providing flood irrigation, <br />recharge of aquifers, contaminant removal, wildlife habitat, and they provide the basis for the livelihoods <br />and recreation of millions of people. Over our 70 year history, DU has conserved more than 11 million acres <br />of wetlands and associated habitats. DU is a science-based organization and it pursues its mission <br />continent-wide, focusing on priority areas with the biggest impact on North American waterfowl populations. <br />In Colorado, DU has worked with several organizations focused on both wildlife conservation and water <br />resources conservation. Since 1997, we have conserved, restored and managed nearly 71,000 acres of <br />wetlands and associated habitats in Colorado, including 16,000 acres in the South Platte River watershed <br />2 <br />
