Ducks Unlimited Leads the Way
by Steve McCadams

 Officials from Memphis based Ducks Unlimited, the nation's premiere wetlands and waterfowl conservation group, reported record levels of both members and funds raised to support conservation during the past fiscal year.

 During the group's annual convention in San Antonio, DU President Dr. L.J. Mayeux, of Marksville, LA, announced that DU volunteers and staff had raised more than $175 million for habitat conservation work in Fiscal Year 2001, which ended on February 28, 2001.

 Dr. Mayeux also announced that the group now counts more than 757,000 people as members of DU. Both are all-time highs in the organization's 64-year history.

 Ducks Unlimited's biologists and engineers used the funds raised during Fiscal Year 2001 to protect, restore, and enhance over 331,000 acres of wildlife habitat within the United States.
 
 Combined with acreage conserved by its international affiliates-DU Canada and DU Mexico-the people of Ducks Unlimited were directly responsible for conserving more than half a million acres of critical wildlife habitat across North America last year.

 DU also reached another important milestone last fiscal
year-spending a full 87 percent of its revenue directly on habitat conservation projects and programs.
