Cape Coral Friends of Wildlife is a volunteer organization whose purpose is to preserve and enhance the habitats of protected wildlife species and to educate the community about Cape Coral's wildlife resources. CCFW launches the "Adopt A Cape Coral Burrowing Owl" program to raise money to preserve this endangered species that we share our neighborhoods with.
Multiple Levels of sponsorship are available from $25 to $10,000. The Florida burrowing owl and gopher tortoise are designated a threatened species by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The designation of "Threatened" is given to species whose prospects of survival are in jeopardy due in part to commercial and residential development.

Burrowing Owl Info
Report
At 100 square miles, Cape Coral, Florida is the second largest city, land wise, in the State of Florida with Jacksonville the only city that is larger. Cape Coral also has the distinction of having the largest population of the Florida species of the Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia floridana) in the State, with an estimated 1000 nesting pair.
Burrowing Owl Viewing Etiquette
Report
Cape Coral is indeed fortunate to have the largest population of the Florida burrowing owl of any place in the world. Their burrows are unique in that they are easily accessible via City streets. Although it is wonderful to view these fascinating birds up close, we need to resist the temptation of loving them to death.
