The BBCC actively solicits input from all
parties that may be affected by a larger bear population to
resolve potential conflicts. Without the support of the
public, and the landowner in particular, the Louisiana black
bear would likely remain a threatened subspecies on the
Endangered Species List and never recover. The BBCC needs
your support to continue its efforts to restore the
Louisiana black bear through public education, research, and
habitat restoration and management. You can contribute by
becoming an Individual or Corporate member of the BBCC. The
BBCC is a 501(c)3, non-profit corporation, incorporated in
Louisiana.

LICENSE
PLATE
 All
4 of the states in the historic range of the Louisiana black
bear (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas) have
conservation license plates available for motorists to
display their support of wildlife. When a motorist purchases
a conservation license plate, a portion of that cost of the
registration goes to help fund wildlife conservation
projects (see links below). While all 4 states have these
special plates, only Louisiana offers a license plate
picturing the Louisiana black bear and dedicating funds
specifically for bear restoration.
Louisiana motorists have the option of purchasing car and
truck tags which feature the Louisiana black bear, while
benefiting other native threatened and endangered species.
The Office of Motor Vehicles is issuing the unique tags by
request through the Prestige Plate Unit. Additional money
generated by license plate sales will go directly to the
Natural Heritage Program of the Department of Wildlife and
Fisheries where it will be used strictly for the restoration
of the Louisiana black bear in its historic range.
A two-year registration period for automobiles and vans
costs a minimum of $26 in addition to the regular
registration fee. Applicants can call the Prestige Plate
Unit at (225)925-6264 with their current license plate
number and the fee will be calculated. Credit will be given
on the unused portion of the current plate.
Plates will be issued to automobiles/vans and pickups, and
anyone can apply. Applicants must submit a photocopy of
their vehicle registration certificate, a note stating
application is for a Louisiana black bear license plate and
the fee.
