Florida Wildlife Federation's mission is to conserve Florida's wildlife, habitats, and natural resources through education, advocacy, and science-based stewardship. We believe that we must protect, restore, and connect our remaining wildlife habitats in a rapidly developing state and address ongoing climate change.
Moreover, we must safeguard water quality and quantity as clean water is critically important to both humans and wildlife. Florida Wildlife Federation affiliate of the National Wildlife Federation, is a private, statewide, non-profit citizens' conservation education organization composed of thousands of Floridians and non-Floridians with a common interest in preserving, managing, and improving Florida's wildlife.

Wildlife
Report
Florida panther, manatees, and Florida black bears are just a few examples of the wonderful wildlife that call our state home. But the challenges of an ever-growing human population, development, pollution, and warming temperatures must be addressed if we are to save them. The rare Florida panther, iconic bald eagle, and Florida black bear are just a few of the native species we are blessed to have in our state.
Sharing the Landscape
Report
The Sharing the Landscape Project is a wildlife-coexistence initiative to educate and assist local stakeholders on the importance of habitat connectivity for the wide-ranging Florida panther. With expansive residential development encroaching on wildlife habitat in this region, education on co-existence is an important tool to help reduce human-wildlife conflict.
Gardening in Florida
Report
Florida Wildlife Federation strongly supports home gardening projects that provide food, water, and shelter to native species. All species need certain life-sustaining necessities, such as the monarch butterfly needing the milkweed plant. The Florida Wildlife Federation strives to educate others about how they can individually take part in saving the state and the planet in their own backyard.
