TextPublication details: 1996Description: 14 p., appendices ; ill. ; 28 cmOnline resources: Abstract: To successfully attain its goals, Ducks Unlimited must not only restore,enhance and manage critical watefowl habitat, but it must also protect remnant habitat from further degradation and those areas where restorations and enhancements have been made. Most partner agencies and organizations prefer to purchase these areas, transferring ownership directly to conservation interests who then become obligated to pay taxes and manage the property for its conservation values in perpetuity.This approach has been little used by DU to-date because long-term costs are high and much land, already in the hands of conservation interests,is in need of habitat restoration or enhancement and management.Moreover, much critical habitat remains in private ownership and is not available for purchase.
