    Louisiana Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy

    LOUISIANA COMPREHENSIVE WILDLIFE CONSERVATION STRATEGY Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries September 2005 LOUISIANA COMPREHENSIVE WILDLIFE CONSERVATION STRATEGY FINAL DRAFT SEPT 2005 LA CWCS FINAL DRAFT SEPT 2005 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Louisiana serves as a permanent or temporary home to over 900 species of vertebrate animals and an unknown number of invertebrates. From its diverse coastal marshes to its interior pine-dominated landscapes, the state offers habitat to a variety of wildlife in numbers seldom exceeded elsewhere. These rich areas provide refuge to 24 million migrant songbirds on a typical spring day and 5 million waterfowl during an average winter. They’re home to some 200 rookeries of wading birds and seabirds, some arguably the largest in North America. Biologically diverse as it may be, many of the species and habitats critical to wildlife are declining. Through the development of the Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy (CWCS), we have reviewed the status of all wildlife species known in Louisiana, and have identified 240 species of concern that need specific conservation attention. This list of 173 vertebrates and 67 invertebrates is not limited to nongame species. Bobwhite Quail, Northern Pintail, and King Rail are examples of hunted species that are also in decline. Data indicate that the take from hunters is not the cause of this decline Alternatively, habitat loss is the true source of the decline of these species and numerous nongame species. Factors that threaten habitat also influence populations of these declining species, and these threats must be addressed in order to stop the declines. As an attempt to meet this challenge, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) broadened its constituency base in the development of the Louisiana CWCS.

RECREATION PROVIDERS OVERVIEW The State of Louisiana’s residents and visitors have numerous recreational opportunities to choose from, provided by the local, state, and federal governments, as well as the private sector. This chapter focuses on each of the agencies that supply and promote recreational opportunities, providing brief descriptions of each service. B. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT The majority of land reserved for recreation within the state is owned and controlled by the federal government. These lands are comprised of Military Installations, National Wildlife Refuges, and National Parks and Forests. The federal lands serve many recreational purposes, including conservation, hunting, and camping. Although the federal entities hold the majority of recreation areas, actual recreational opportunities are limited when compared to local and private recreation providers. As of August 2014, the federal government offers 159 recreational areas within the state, according to www.recreation.gov . Agencies that have jurisdiction over the federally controlled recreational land within the state include the Military Installation Commands, the National Park Service, the United States Forest Service, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, and the United States Army Corps of Engineers. Military Installations Recreational opportunities provided by the Department of Defense (DoD) can be found on three military installations within the state − the Naval Air Station-Joint Reserve Base New Orleans, Barksdale Air Force Base, and Fort Polk.

Alexandria, Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Lake Charles, Monroe, New Orleans, and Shreveport are the major cities. The physiographic features of the state include forested uplands, alluvial plains, coastal marshes, prairies, and bluffs. Natural elevations range from below sea level along the coast to 535 feet in the northern uplands. Land cover in the northwestern and western part of the state consists mostly of upland, mixed evergreen/deciduous forests. The northeast and south-central parts of the state are heavily agricultural, with fragmented forests, including Bottomland Hardwood Forest. The southeastern part of the state, known as the Florida Parishes, consists primarily of upland forest dominated by evergreen/mixed hardwoods, and Longleaf Pine flatwoods. The southern portion of this region is dominated by marshes and forested wetlands. Southwestern Louisiana is dominated by agriculture and improved pasture, in the historical Coastal Prairie region, and upland or wetland scrub-shrub vegetation. The coastal portion of the state is made up of Freshwater, Intermediate, Brackish, and Salt Marshes and, increasingly, open water (Hartley et al. 2000). Presently, nearly all of coastal Louisiana is retreating before the advance of the Gulf of Mexico due to the containment of the Mississippi River for navigation and flood control and other factors. The Mississippi and Atchafalaya river deltas are the only coastal areas with significant sediment accretion and delta formation. The floodplain of the Atchafalaya River, the largest distributary of the Mississippi River, holds the best example of forested wetlands in Louisiana and the largest remaining floodplain swamp in the country.
