The Wildlife Services (WS) program in Louisiana helps citizens, organizations, industries, and Government agencies resolve conflicts with wildlife to protect agriculture, other property, and natural resources, and to safeguard human health and safety. WS' professional wildlife biologists and specialists implement effective, selective, and responsible strategies that value wildlife, the environment, and the resources being protected. WS manages wildlife damage according to its public trust stewardship responsibilities as a Federal natural resource management program. The program supports the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation, based on the principle that wildlife resources are owned collectively and held in trust by Government for the benefit of present and future generations.
WS frequently provides information, advice, equipment, and materials that enable people to resolve wildlife conflicts on their own. WS also implements solutions on-site, through direct management assistance, when the wildlife-related problem is complex and cannot be safely or effectively resolved by others. WS applies and recommends an integrated wildlife damage management approach that incorporates biological, economic, public, environmental, and other information into decision making.
Protecting Crops and Other Agricultural Resources — Agricultural landscapes provide abundant wildlife habitat. WS-Louisiana assists farmers and ranchers protect crops and other agricultural resources and facilities from damage caused by waterfowl, feral swine, deer, wild turkeys, gulls, black bears, and other species.
