Wildlife Protection and Rehabilitation The remarkable and diverse populations of our native wildlife are vulnerable to the effects of unsustainable development. Birds, mammals and reptiles succumb to habitat loss and fragmentation, contaminated food and water sources, domestic pet attacks and collisions with boats and automobiles.
The Conservancy works to protect and rehabilitate many of the 100 threatened or listed species in Florida in a variety of ways. Our scientists conduct regular research on wildlife and their habitats. Policy staff works to ensure plans are in place to balance smart growth with preserving our natural resources. Our education team teaches others about the importance of the wildlife in our everyday lives. Our Wildlife Rehabilitation Center treats over 2,400 of injured, orphaned or sick native animals on an annual basis.
