Support Wetlandkeepers, Support NAWM
NAWM seeks generous gifts from benefactors, private donors and foundations for these three core areas of its work: |
|
||||||
Enhancing Wetland Programs: States are a silent partner in wetlands protection and they look to NAWM to lead and convene states for peer-to-peer sharing of information to help wetlandkeepers do their jobs better. Enhancing state wetland programs will depend on this capacity-building campaign to fund our currently unfunded services, such as updating the State Program Summaries, publishing its newsletters and maintaining the website. NAWM bridges the gaps between federal and state/tribal partnerships, providing technical assistance to those who protect the nation's wetlands. |
|||||||
Protecting Wetlands & Watersheds: The role of wetlands within the greater context of watersheds includes flood prevention and floodplain management, streams and water quality standards for wetlands, conservation of wetland habitat for endangered and threatened species. Funds raised from this campaign will strengthen NAWM's watershed-related program, including its work with the Natural Floodplain Functions Alliance, and other partners working to protect watersheds from river to bay, headwater streams and other wetlands, along with conserving valuable habitat for birds and wildlife. |

Wetlands & Climate Change: Wetlandkeepers face new challenges in an era of climate change. NAWM's projects in this core program area focus on adaptation and climate change's potential impacts on wetlands and water resources. Funding from this campaign will be used to bolster its climate change program, specifically to expand its climate change website and to continue its work to identify effective adaptation strategies to mitigate the effects of climate change on wetlands, including sea level rise.
