Program for Wetlands
A cooperative public-private initiative for Texas wetland restoration, enhancement and protection
over the next five years was announced here Thursday, Nov. 9, in a briefing of the Texas Parks and
Wildlife Commission.
Ducks Unlimited, in cooperation with TPW, is spearheading the Conservation of Agricultural
Resources in the Environment (CARE) program with a goal of raising $23.9 million over the next
five years for projects on 62,500 acres ofwetland in Texas.
The program targets three areas important to waterfowl:
* The Gulf Coast Joint Venture, where 1.7 million acres of habitat have been identified for
waterfowl conservation underthe North American Waterfowl Management Plan.
* The Playa Lakes Joint Venture, which winters up to 30 percent of the waterfowl in the Central
Flyway and up to 90 percent of the mid-continent population of sandhill cranes.
* The Lower Mississippi Valley Joint Venture, where East Texas bottomlands are affected by
habitat fragmentation, conversion of forests from hardwood to softwood species, industry
and commercial development, and introduced exotic species.
... ... ...... ... ... .. "When you team up with
specialists to conserve
agriculture natural resources
and the environment,
. . . . . ... . .everybody wins."
TPW Executive Director Andrew Sansom expressed TPW's commitment to partner with DU in
pursuit of its wetlands conservation goals. "Texas CARE will unite public and private partners who
care about our natural resources for the benefit of every citizen in Texas," he said. "When you team
up with specialists to conserve agriculture, natural resources and the environment, everybody
wins.
