Grant Description: This funding opportunity is for Canadian applicants for proposals to be funded through the 1989 United States Congress North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA, or the Act), as amended in 1994 and 2002. It provides guidelines to assist in developing a proposal for wetlands conservation partnerships in which U.S. federal NAWCA grant monies and other U.S. and Canadian funds are used to secure, enhance or manage wetlands in Canada. The objective of the Act is to encourage partnerships to protect North America's wetlands as habitat for waterfowl and other wetland-associated migratory birds, fish and wildlife. It should be noted that the statutory criteria encourage proposals with multiple partnerships, projects supporting the purposes of the Act, and projects that have multiple benefits in addition to those for wetland-associated migratory birds. Canadian proposals must be submitted through the Joint Venture Provincial Steering Committees and applicable Habitat Joint Venture Management Boards, as well as the North American Bird Conservation Initiative / North American Wetlands Conservation Council (Canada).
