DU announces Memorandum of Common Purpose with MRCTI Ammoland Inc. Posted on IMG Ducks Unlimited
U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- Today, Ducks Unlimited and the Mississippi River Cities and Towns Initiative (MRCTI) signed a Memorandum of Common Purpose, signaling our shared goal to protect and restore wetlands and riparian habitats along the Mississippi River for the benefit of migrating waterfowl and Mississippi River communities.
One of America’s largest expanses of wetlands, the Mississippi River Valley (MRV) is a vital migration corridor for 40% of North America’s waterfowl and 60% of its bird species, but an estimated 75% of bottomland and riparian habitat has been lost. Since 2011, the MRV has sustained nearly $60 billion in natural disaster impacts including flooding, droughts, and major storms.
