Ducks Unlimited

Illustration | WebDesign | Campaign

Ducks Unlimited Canada is an 85 year old nonprofit organization with the goal of conserving, restoring, and managing wetlands for the benefit of people and wildlife alike. Although DUC has positively influenced over 201.8 million acres of habitat, wetlands continue to decline at alarming rates which affect human homes and lives as much as they do ducks.

This campaign highlights the interconnection of wetlands, wildlife, and human habitats through a whimsical fusion of human and duck homes.
