Service signs agreement to manage Duck Stamp Licensing Program Ducks Unlimited (DU) will manage man-age how Federal Duck Stamp images are licensed to manufacturers manufac-turers who place the images on a wide variety of consumer products. Under the agreement, DU will use its expertise to expand and manage the licensing program for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Federal Duck Stamp Program. "We're excited to have DU manage man-age our Duck Stamp Licensing program and the potential it will have to provide even more money for wetlands conservation," said Service Director Steve Williams. "I am confident that this agreement agree-ment will help us fulfill the goal announced by President Bush of conserving the three million acres of wetlands across the nation over the next five years." Since 1934, the Federal Migratory' Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp, popularly known as the Federal Duck Stamp, has been sold to hunters, conservationists and stamp collectors. In that time, stamp sales have generated more than $670 million that has been used to acquire more than 5.2 million acres of important wetlands and associated associ-ated upland habitat for the National Wildlife Refuge System. The stamps, which feature images of waterfowl painted by some of the nation's most prominent wildlife artists, are valued for their beauty. Recognizing the stamps' popularity popular-ity with the public, Congress authorized autho-rized the Service to license stamp images for use on a variety of products prod-ucts in 1984, with proceeds going to acquire additional habitat for the Refuge System. Since that time, dozens of licensed products ranging from embroidered hats and sweatshirts sweat-shirts to knives, key chains and prints have been successfully marketed mar-keted by private companies across the country. By engaging the professional marketing mar-keting and licensing expertise of DU, the Service hopes to take full advantage of the valuable stamp images to generate more money for conservation and raise public awareness aware-ness of the Duck Stamp itself. Under the agreement, DU will help the Service broaden the awareness aware-ness of Federal Duck Stamps and the role they play in past, current and future conservation efforts. Like DU's current licensing programs that raise money for waterfowl and habitat, royalties generated from the sale of products with the stamp images will be dedicated to waterfowl water-fowl conservation efforts. "When waterfowlers purchase a product depicting a Federal Duck Stamp image, they're not only supporting sup-porting a great conservation program pro-gram and tradition, they're enabling the manufacturer of that product to donate important funds to habitat habi-tat conservation, as well. Everyone wins," said Don Young, Executive Vice President of DU. "DU and its members share our strong commitment to wetlands conservation, con-servation, and understand the values that the Duck Stamp represents," Williams added. "The Service has a long history of partnership with DU on wetlands conservation projects, and we look forward to deepening this partnership through our licensing licens-ing program."
