The Florida Wildlife Corridor Coalition Applauds Governor DeSantis and the Cabinet on Approving Key Land Parcels in the Florida Wildlife Corridor. Totaling nearly 20,000 Acres, land parcels will preserve key links in the Florida Wildlife Corridor Approval comes after the. The network of habitat connections which sustain our best wild places is at risk.
If we wish to save wild Florida, and the near 700 imperiled species it supports, including our beloved Florida bear, we must protect the Florida Wildlife Corridor. Our Mission is to champion a collaborative campaign to permanently connect, protect and restore the Florida Wildlife Corridor.

About The Organization
Report
We are a unifying voice that provides a window into wild Florida. We seek landscape-scale conservation through high quality, impactful, and authentic storytelling. We are paddlers, hikers, biologists, birders, ranchers, fishermen, snorkelers. We weave exploration and science with the stories of the wildlife, wildlands and those who steward it into our State's most compelling conservation story - to save the Corridor.
Inspired By A Bear
Report
When we caught him, M34 didn't seem remarkable for anything other than for being a black bear making a living in south-central Florida. He was 2 years old, weighing less than 200 lbs. The scrub draws bears during the fall, and in a good year they may work the food-rich patches for months, gorging on scrub oak acorns, hickory nuts and palmetto fruit.
Explore the Corridor
Report
The Florida Wildlife Corridor is not accessible to the public in its entirety. Happily, the routes of the 2012 and 2015 Expeditions include public lands that are open for recreational activities, such as hiking, paddling, and camping. There are 1323 named rivers and streams crossing the Corridor that include 1577 miles of designated paddling trails.

Expeditions
Report
Our expeditions were inspired by the movements of a young male Florida black bear, M34. When scientists first caught him, M34 didn't seem remarkable for anything other than for being a black bear making a living in south-central Florida. He was 2 years old, weighing less than 200 lbs.
His amazing journey highlighted the importance of agricultural and ranch land for conservation and outlined the potential perils animals must face when crossing through tricky human developments, like roadways, and underscored the important role connected conservation land can play for the health of so many species.
