Residents shocked after unexpected creature wanders into backyard: 'The police don't want us to go outside'
A bear wandered into a backyard in Prince George's County, Maryland, forcing residents to take their Memorial Day plans indoors, NBC4 Washington reported. The young bear, approximately 18 months old, according to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, lounged in a tree in a backyard around noon. "We were going to the playground with my daughter. We canceled because the police don't want us to go outside," one resident said, per NBC4 Washington. The bear stayed in the tree until 3:30 p.m. Then, DNR officers relocated it to a wildlife management area. While some Langley Park residents thought the encounter was exciting and memorable, such occurrences reflect a broader pattern. Close encounters between humans and wildlife are becoming more frequent. The cause is habitat loss, and it's happening on a global scale. In 2024, the World Wildlife Fund reported a catastrophic 73% decline in wildlife populations worldwide between 1970 and 2020. Freshwater species (85%) suffered the steepest drops, followed by land (69%) and marine life (56%). These losses stem largely from habitat destruction, overharvesting, and changes to our climate, many of which are linked to human land use and food production systems. As urban development expands and forested areas shrink, wild animals are forced to search for food and shelter in suburban and residential areas. While the situation in Maryland ended peacefully, that is not always the case. Wildlife encounters not only put people at risk but also stress animals. Animals can get hurt or become disoriented and may face euthanasia by authorities. Should the government be paying people to hunt invasive species? Definitely Depends on the animal No way Just let people do it for free Click your choice to see results and speak your mind. Globally, major restoration efforts are underway to reverse damage from decades of habitat destruction. Government initiatives and independent groups are working to revive ecosystems through reforestation, wetland recovery, and wildlife corridor development. Individuals can help by getting involved in local conservation efforts and staying informed about how urbanization impacts local ecosystems. Respecting wildlife, securing trash, and protecting green spaces are small but powerful ways to coexist with nature and prevent backyard surprises.

Louisiana Creole Center hosts enrichment institute for teachers
NATCHITOCHES, La. (KTAL/KMSS) — Ten middle school teachers spent time learning more about Louisiana Creoles. New Orleans Jazz Museum celebrates Clifton Chenier, zydeco king The Creole Heritage Center at Northwestern State University (NSU), in partnership with Cane River Creole National Historical Park and Cane River National Heritage Area, welcomed teachers from across the state to NSU for a three-day institute. Dr. Kent Peacock, director of the Creole Heritage Center, said, 'Our goal was to give teachers a better understanding of who are Louisiana Creoles and their vibrant heritage so they feel confident incorporating these essential parts of Louisiana and the United States into their classrooms.' Discover clay techniques and wheel work at NSU's ceramics class The teachers learned about and visited many of the heritage sites in Natchitoches Parish, including NSU's Creole Heritage Center, Melrose on the Cane, Fort St. Jean Baptiste State Historic Site, the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame and Northwest Louisiana History Museum and two of Cane River Creole National Historical Park's sites, St. Augustine Catholic Church, and the Badin Roque House. The hope is that the teachers will pass on what they learned about Creoles to their students and take them to some of the sites. The Creole Heritage Center wants to present the institute again in Natchitoches and other Louisiana locations. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
