Mississippi exhibits black bear conservation history at MDWFP headquarters

The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks has opened an exhibit at its headquarters that chronicles the state’s black bear conservation efforts. The exhibit features photos and history of the program, which was originally housed at the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science.

The program has since moved to the MDWFP headquarters, but its legacy remains central to wildlife conservation in Mississippi. Visitors can walk through the exhibit to learn about the progress made in protecting black bears in the state.

Officials say the exhibit aims to educate the public about the importance of conservation efforts and the progress achieved over the years. The display is part of the department’s ongoing efforts to promote awareness and appreciation for Mississippi’s native wildlife.
