(DU) is a private not for profit (501 c3) organization whose mission is to <br />,,conserve, restore and manage wetlands and associated habitats for North America's waterfowl. These habitats <br />also benefit other wildlife and people". Established in 1937, DU was founded by American engineers traveling <br />to Canada during the dust bowl era to hunt waterfowl. They recognized that human impacts had reduced the <br />planet's ability to mitigate extreme climate changes. Wetlands, being one of the most dynamic natural systems <br />on earth, provide flood mitigation, recharge or discharge water from aquifers, remove contaminants, provide <br />habitat for wildlife, and provide livelihoods and recreation for people. Over our 70 year history, DU has <br />conserved more than 11 million acres of wetlands and associated habitats. In fact, until 20 years ago all <br />conservation work was conducted in Canada. Since that time the organization has focused on important <br />wetlands throughout the United States, including those in Colorado. <br />2
