This material was collected by the staff of the Jackson Barracks Library, under the auspices of the Louisiana Adjutant General’s Office between the 1920’s and 2005.

  • Chapter 1. Introduction
    INTRODUCTION LA WAP—JUNE 2015 CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION A. Conservation and Management of Wildlife and Fisheries Resources in Louisiana In Louisiana, the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) is the government agency charged with the conservation and management of wildlife and fishery resources in the state, including aquatic and terrestrial vertebrate and invertebrate species. LDWF is authorized to execute the laws enacted for the control and supervision of programs relating to the management, protection, conservation, and replenishment of wildlife, fish, and aquatic life, and the regulation of the shipping of wildlife, fish, furs, and skins. LDWF is organized into four appropriated budget offices: Secretary, Management and Finance, Wildlife, and Fisheries. 1. Mission Statement: The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) is charged with the conservation and management of Louisiana’s natural resources, including both aquatic and terrestrial species and habitats. LDWF’s mission is to manage, conserve, and promote wise utilization of Louisiana’s renewable fish and wildlife resources and their supporting habitats for the social and economic benefit of current and future generations; to provide opportunities for study, utilization, and enjoyment of these resources; and to promote a safe and healthy environment for the users of the resources. B. Problem and Need for a Wildlife Action Plan 1. Background: Early in the twentieth century, many of America’s once numerous fish and wildlife species were on the verge of extinction. In the 1930s, this situation began to change as harvests were better regulated, wildlife management areas and refuges were created, and game species populations were augmented or restored with translocated animals.

  • 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.
