Multiple Canada geese were recently found shot near LSU Lakes in Baton Rouge, and the investigation is ongoing. According to Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries officials, the killings occurred outside of legal hunting season and involved birds protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

Shared spaces like LSU Lakes are home to wildlife and used daily by walkers, runners, families, and the broader community. Incidents like this are a reminder that wildlife laws exist for a reason and that respect for wildlife matters year-round.

Executive Director Rebecca Triche spoke with about this incident, watch it here: https://www.wbrz.com/news/investigation-continues-in-illegal-killing-of-geese-near-lsu-lakes/

Anyone with information related to the incident is encouraged to contact Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.

Thank you to everyone who took action and helped speak up for Kisatchie National Forest.

Public engagement matters, and support from advocates, partners, and community members makes a difference in protecting Louisiana’s public lands and wildlife habitats for future generations.

Conservation progress happens when people stay involved.

In Louisiana, what you plant directly shapes what shows up.

Native plants provide the food and habitat that birds, pollinators, and other wildlife actually rely on. Without them, those connections start to break down.

Creating a native plant garden is one of the most practical ways to support local ecosystems right where you live. It’s not about doing everything. It’s about choosing plants that belong here and letting them do what they’re meant to do.

If you’ve been thinking about making your yard more wildlife-friendly, this is a good time to start

- Add native plants that support pollinators and birds
- Build in simple, visible cues of care
- Take the step to certify your space as wildlife habitat

For the month of May, you can get 20% off your Certified Wildlife Habitat application with code GARDEN20.

Nine-banded armadillos are a familiar sight across Louisiana, often spotted rooting through soil and leaf litter in search of insects and grubs.

That digging might look messy, but it actually plays a role in the ecosystem. By turning over soil, armadillos help with aeration and nutrient cycling.

You may not want to see an armadillo in your yard or garden but they offer natural pest control. Up to 90% of their diet is insects. Besides grubs, they eat ants, termites, and cockroaches.

We value all native wildlife. If you do too, head to https://lawildlifefed.org/ to learn more about how you can support LWF.

If you’re planting native, you’re already doing the work.

The Louisiana Native Plant Society’s Certified Habitat program recognizes spaces that support local ecosystems using plants that belong here.
It’s not about perfection. It’s about intention.

Native plants provide food and shelter for wildlife, support pollinators, and help restore the natural balance our landscapes depend on. Certifying your space is a way to show that commitment and help others see what’s possible.

Whether it’s a full garden or a few intentional plantings, it all counts.

These species all call the Gulf home.

And all three are at risk.

Rice’s whales are one of the most endangered whale species in the world, with fewer than 100 remaining. Vessel traffic and industrial activity in the Gulf continue to put them at risk.

Kemp’s ridley sea turtles, the most endangered sea turtle species, rely on protected nesting beaches and safe waters free from debris and bycatch.

Gulf sturgeon depend on healthy rivers and coastal habitats to survive. Barriers to migration and habitat loss have led to long-term population declines.

Each of these species tells us something important about the health of the Gulf.

Protecting habitat, reducing human impact, and supporting science-based conservation efforts all play a role in what happens next.

The future of these species is tied to the future of this ecosystem.

Take action now to stop the proposed transfer of Kisatchie National Forest lands in Louisiana.

While framed as rural economic development, the risks are real:

🌲Permanent loss of federal habitat protections
🌲No guarantee the land stays public
🌲Local entities can't absorb management costs
🌲Broad "public purpose" uses with no guaranteed outcomes

Kisatchie is Louisiana's only national forest. It supports hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation, protects watersheds, and is relied upon every day. Keep it that way.

Head to https://lawildlifefed.org/lets-connect/take-action/ #/32 to take action or call Senator Cassidy (202-224-5824), Senator Kennedy (202-224-4623), and Representative Mike Johnson (202-225-2777) to tell them you oppose the transfer of Kisatchie National Forest from under federal management.

Coastal Restoration Day is a reminder of what’s at stake in Louisiana and what happens when restoration efforts are put at risk.

Louisiana continues to lose land at an alarming rate. Sediment diversions are one of the most critical tools we have to rebuild wetlands and sustain our coast long term.

➡️ They mimic the Mississippi River’s natural land-building process
➡️ They help rebuild and maintain disappearing wetlands
➡️ They support fisheries, wildlife, and coastal communities

Cancelling or delaying these projects does not stop the problem. It accelerates it.

Protecting Louisiana’s coastline means committing to real, science-backed solutions, even when they require long-term thinking.
