South Florida Wildlands Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to the protection of wildlife and habitat in the Greater Everglades.
The Greater Everglades is one of the most biodiverse regions in North America. Its mosaic of habitats – pinelands, sawgrass prairies, mangroves, marshes, hardwood hammocks, cypress strands and others – provide a home to countless plants and animals. Unfortunately, habitat loss, habitat fragmentation and pollution are also facts of life in South Florida. Drainage of South Florida’s vast wetlands for intense agriculture and an exploding human population have reduced wildlife habitat and populations to a fraction of their former size. As a result, hundreds of species of native fauna and flora in the Greater Everglades are now federally listed as endangered or threatened or state listed as threatened or species of special concern.
SFWA is a 501c3 non-profit dedicated solely to protecting what remains of one of our planet’s most unique natural areas. Diverse animals such as Florida panthers, wood storks, snail kites, manatees, corals, sea turtles, American crocodiles, and Florida black bears benefit from the many campaigns SFWA carries out. Relying on science, law, and public advocacy, SFWA works to protect habitat on public and private lands alike, while preserving clean water and quality of life for South Florida’s human population.
