Abstract
The Atchafalaya Basin is a dynamic system with a wide variety of habitat types from north to south. Made up of both public and private landowners, wildlife management efforts are as diverse as the system itself. This paper will address current wildlife management from the perspective of several private landowners as well as state and federal agencies. The Black Bear Conservation Committee (BBCC) will interview biologists and managers from Roy O. Martin Timber Company, A. Wilbert Sons, Inc., Schwing Management, Inc, Williams, Inc, Miami Corporation, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and US Army Corps of Engineers to get their perspective of their management of Basin lands. From these interviews and actual site visits, the BBCC will provide an overview of current wildlife management in the Atchafalaya Basin.
