South Florida Wildlands Association protects wildlife and wildlife habitat in the Greater Everglades. Known throughout the world for its delicate beauty, the lands and waters of our region support a variety of ecosystems and a combination of rare plants and animals found nowhere else on the planet. But this unique and biodiverse landscape is under threat . With a soaring resident and tourist population bringing endless demands for new development and high-impact recreation, South Florida Wildlands works to insure that our wildlife - from panthers to manatees - have a permanent home in Florida's Everglades.
