Column: Taking a look at the origins of wildlife law
SUMMARY: The conservation movement in Mississippi and North America stemmed from both public advocacy and legal frameworks. Early conservation policies trace back to Marco Polo’s records of Kublai Khan’s wildlife management rules. The North American Model of Wildlife Conservation emphasizes equitable hunting land access. English Game Acts historically restricted hunting rights, with the most significant change post the English Civil War, leading to firearm ownership prohibition. In contrast, American colonies promoted gun ownership due to various threats. Early American wildlife policies, like closed deer hunting seasons, were established but faced enforcement challenges. The American Revolution emphasized citizens’ rights, leading to the Bill of Rights and the Second Amendment. Overhunting, especially of white-tailed deer, became a concern. Scientific interest in wildlife began around the U.S.’s founding, with figures like Audubon contributing. The 19th century saw growing conservation awareness, with institutions like the American Museum of Natural History highlighting dwindling resources.

SUMMARY: Mississippi travel officials are preparing for a busy holiday season, with Santa Claus receiving approval from the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) for his sleigh and toy load.

Drivers were reminded to be cautious and alert for reindeer and sleighs during the holiday season.
