Ducks Unlimited reaches major conservation milestone
More than 15 million acres of habitat protected or restored across North America.

That is 23,000 square miles or almost the size of West Virginia. That sounds like a lot but there is more work to do. NC has around 4.2 million acres of wetlands, 95% of which are found in Eastern NC. It is estimated that NC has lost over 50% of the wetlands that existed 200 years ago.
