EP 468. When Conservation Came to Mississippi
Episode description
Veteran wildlife biologist Cathy Shropshire was integral to black bear reintroductions in Mississippi. As long-time coordinator of Mississippi Wildlife Heritage Program at Mississippi's Museum of National Science, she oversaw cataloguing and studying the state's rare and endangered species, plant and animal communities. But there were some mighty big shoes to fill. She learned about Fannye Cook, one of her predecessors that single-handedly ensured creation of a state agency now known as Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks--the last state to do so in the Lower 48--and more. Great story about how one lady changed conservation forever through sheer will and determination.
