North American Wetlands Conservation Act

Transcription

1 North American Wetlands Conservation Act CALIFORNIA California currently has 151 NAWCA projects either completed or underway. These projects have conserved a total of 869,189 acres of wildlife habitat. NAWCA funding of more than $95.9 million stimulated partner contributions of more than $385.5 million. NAWCA Positively Impacts the Economy and Creates Jobs NAWCA has benefited the national economy by translating $1.3 billion in federal funds into more than $5 billion in on-the-ground conservation and economic activity in North America. NAWCA funds have created on average, nearly 7,500 new jobs annually in the United States, generating more than $200 million in worker earnings each year. NAWCA Expands Recreational Opportunities for People These recreational activities such as hunting, fishing, wildlife viewing and photography are a multibillion dollar industry Conserving and Restoring Wetlands Increases Water Quantity and Quality Wetlands store water and recharge aquifers, thus securing future water supplies. NAWCA Effectively Leverages Private Sector Funds Federal NAWCA grants have leveraged more than $2.7 billion in partner funds. Partners have included thousands of landowners, private companies, conservation non-profits, federal agencies and all 50 states. NAWCA requires a 1:1 match, but partners at the local level often doubles or triples federal funds. NAWCA Benefits Hundreds of Wildlife Species NAWCA benefits a wide array of species, including rare, threatened and endangered species that are dependent on wetlands ecosystems.

7 Northern Tulare/ San Joaquin Basins The northern Tulare and San Joaquin Basins in California s Central Valley support an extremely crucial ecosystem for a wide range of wildlife. In 2005, the North American Wetlands Conservation Council awarded Ducks Unlimited a $1 million grant, leveraged to raise more than $2.3 million, to protect and enhance 23,198 acres of degraded wetlands and associated uplands. In 2011, the fourth phase of this initiative began. Throughout the four phases, Ducks Unlimited has received $4 million in NAWCA funding, which has been matched by $8.7 million; a total of 41,023 acres has been protected and enhanced since the project s initial phase. Due to rapid urbanization and water-intensive farming, the wetlands in this region have been badly degraded over the years. These wetlands provide crucial habitat for ducks and other wetlanddependant birds and wildlife. Protection and restoration efforts include the establishment of earlysuccessional riparian vegetation, installing efficient water-conveyance systems, and recontouring leveled topographies.* Since its inception, this project has helped immensely to return this area to its natural beautiful and healthy state. *Information from USFWS California Multi-State NAWCA Projects California currently has 4 multi-state projects underway. These projects have conserved a total of 35,142 acres of wildlife habitat. NAWCA funding of over $3.7 million stimulated partner contributions of over $10.5 million.
