About Us

The IUCN SSC Threatened Waterfowl Specialist Group (TWSG) identifies which Anseriformes taxa are globally threatened, monitors their status, produces international action plans and exchanges information on conservation projects on globally threatened Anseriformes and encourages contacts between everyone working with or enthusiastic about these ducks, geese, swans and screamers.

To date, the TWSG has helped bring about major advances in the conservation of many threatened waterfowl, such as the Hawaiian Goose, Red-breasted Goose, White-headed Duck, White-winged Duck, Madagascar Pochard and Scaly-sided Merganser.
