North American Wetlands Conservation Act

In the past two decades, the North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA) has funded over 3,300 projects projects for over 7,000 partners, conserving more than 32.6 million acres of vital habitat. These efforts have been made possible through $2.28 billion in grants and an additional $4.53 billion in partner contributions.

The NAWCA Grants program provides matching grants to wetlands conservation projects in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. These projects are often cross-boundary, collaborative conservation projects undertaken by a mix of private, public, federal, state, and NGO partners.
