Mississippi Black Bear Program highlights conservation history at MDWFP exhibit

The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP) is spotlighting its Black Bear Program at its headquarters. The exhibit offers a look into the program’s history and its impact on conservation efforts in the state.

The program originally operated from the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science. Although it has since relocated to the MDWFP headquarters, its story remains accessible through the exhibit.

Visitors are encouraged to explore the display, walk through the history of black bear conservation in Mississippi, and see how far efforts have come over the years.

MDWFP officials say the exhibit underscores the importance of ongoing conservation initiatives and the progress made in protecting Mississippi’s black bears.
