Sales of the federal duck stamps -- a program managed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service -- are vital for wetland conservation: "ninety-eight cents out of every dollar generated by the sale of Federal Duck Stamps goes directly to purchase or lease wetland habitat for protection in the National Wildlife Refuge System."
