Abstract
History of the Federal Duck Stamp
On March 16, 1934, Congress passed,
and President Franklin D. Roosevelt
signed, the Migratory Bird Hunting
Stamp Act (16 U.S.C. 718–718k).
Popularly known as the Duck Stamp
Act, it required all waterfowl hunters 16
years or older to buy a stamp annually.
The revenue generated was originally
earmarked for the Department of
Agriculture, but 5 years later was
transferred to the Department of the
Interior and the Service.
In the years since its enactment, the
Federal Duck Stamp Program has
become one of the most popular and
successful conservation programs ever
initiated. Today, some 1.5 million
stamps are sold each year, and as of
2017, Federal Duck Stamps have
generated more than $1 billion for the
preservation of more than 6 million
acres of waterfowl habitat in the United
States. Numerous other birds, mammals,
fish, reptiles, and amphibians have
similarly prospered because of habitat
