Book Description
At the turn of the 20th century, overeager hunters and the commercial demand for meat and feathers had decimated waterfowl populations. At the same time, periodic droughts caused wetlands and other valuable waterfowl habitat to disappear. In the late 1920s, conservationists, hunters, and government officials worked together to create the Migratory Bird Conservation Act, which Congress passed in 1929. This landmark legislation authorized the Federal government to acquire and permanently protect wetlands for waterfowl. It also created the Migratory Bird Conservation Commission-composed of Federal and State officials-to consider and approve proposals for land acquisition.

Book Description
The Migratory Bird Conservation Fund provides the Department of the Interior with monies to acquire migratory bird habitat. There are four major sources of money for the Fund. The most wellknown source is the revenue received from the sale of Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamps, commonly known as Duck Stamps, as provided for under the Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp Act of March 18, 1934, as amended. The other three major sources include appropriations authorized by the Wetlands Loan Act of October 4, 1961, as amended; import duties collected on arms and ammunition; and receipts from the sale of refuge admission permits as provided for in the Emergency Wetlands Resources Act of 1986. The Fund is further supplemented by receipts from the sale of products from refuge lands and rights-of-ways across national wildlife refuges, the disposal of refuge lands, and reverted Federal Aid funds.
