Changing the landscape of conservation

Home / About / Mission & Vision

Our Vision

The conservation of Mississippi’s lands, waters, and natural heritage will secure the state’s quality of life by making it a better place to live, work, and raise a family.

Our Mission

To conserve Mississippi’s lands, waters, and natural heritage in order to sustain a clean environment and healthy economy.

Our Values

Wildlife Mississippi has a common-sense, effective conservation philosophy. It is based on five basic values:

  1. Conservation should make economic sense, and the result of conservation action helps Mississippi’s economy, retain jobs, and preserve property values.
  2. Conservation should include both public and private lands.
  3. Private property rights encourage good stewardship. Private property owners have a responsibility to conserve them for present and future generations.
  4. Mississippi’s natural areas are part of God’s creation, and all Mississippians have a shared responsibility to conserve them for present and future generations.
  5. Hunting, fish, and other forms of outdoor recreation are a part of Mississippi’s natural heritage and should be utilized as a means to provide a sustainable source of food, and recreation, and as a means for fish and wildlife management based on sound science.
