Mississippi Wildlife Services

The Wildlife Services (WS) program in Mississippi helps citizens, organizations, industries, and Government agencies resolve conflicts with wildlife to protect agriculture, other property, and natural resources, and to safeguard the safety of people. WS' professional wildlife biologists and specialists implement effective, selective, and responsible strategies that value wildlife, the environment, and the resources being protected. WS' biologists manage wildlife damage according to its public trust stewardship responsibilities as Federal natural resource managers. 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. During 2014, WS delivered technical advice and recommendations to more than 1.6 million people across the country.

In most cases, landowners and resource managers use technical information to implement habitat management and other methods to reduce damage on their properties. For example, WS-Mississippi helps educate the public about damage being caused by feral swine and provides technical assistance to address fish-eating bird problems affecting the aquaculture industry. WS-Mississippi also partners with military airbases, private citizens, and cell tower companies to minimize problems caused by roosting vultures and helps homeowner associations learn techniques to decrease Canada geese problems in their neighborhoods.
