In 1985, world-renowned Canadian Wildlife Artist, Robert Bateman, painted a pair of Mallards standing near a pond as a special tribute to conservation efforts across Canada. This image was the beginning of a new tradition in Canada. Similar to the US Federal Duck Stamp, The Canadian Wildlife Habitat Conservation Stamp became a means to raise funds for conservation and draw attention to the importance of wildlife and their habitats.
