This landmark trilateral revision — signed by the environment ministers of Canada, the United States, and Mexico — updates the original 1986 North American Waterfowl Management Plan after 25 years of on-the-ground success. It celebrates the protection and restoration of 15.7 million acres (63,000 km²) of wetlands, grasslands, and other key habitats while confronting new 21st-century realities: climate change, habitat loss, shifting land-use pressures, declining hunter participation, and the need for broader public engagement.

The 2012 NAWMP Action Plan was published as a companion to the North American Waterfowl Management Plan Revision. It provides strategic guidance and initial steps for implementing the Plan's expanded vision across Canada, Mexico, and the United States.

The 2004 Strategic Guidance for the North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP) serves as a renewal of the original 1986 plan, building on updates in 1994 and 1998 to outline needs, priorities, and strategies for the next 15 years.
