The Cache River National Wildlife Refuge is a 68,993 acre (223 km 2) (2014) wildlife refuge in the state of Arkansas managed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). [3] The refuge is one of the Ramsar wetlands of international importance under the Ramsar Convention signed in 1971.
The river supports 53 mammalian species, over 200 bird species, and nearly 50 species of reptiles and amphibians. The refuge is also the most important wintering area for mallard ducks and other migratory waterfowl on the continent. As a result, low-lying areas in the vicinity of the river's lower course are a popular destination for duck hunters.
