Twice each year, the Audubon Florida Everglades team brings together updates on restoration, research, and policy issues impacting the River of Grass.
“We are celebrating successes. New projects are in line for congressional authorization this year, including the critically important Western Everglades Restoration Project,” says Director of Everglades Policy Kelly Cox, Esq. She explains that historic levels of funding continue to pour in from the state and federal government to support restoration work. In addition, a new national wildlife refuge unit will connect four million acres of habitat across the Everglades footprint, and ground has been broken on vital project components like the Everglades Agricultural Area Stormwater Treatment Area.
Cox continues: “And, the ecosystem is responding. Our iconic American Flamingos blown in from Hurricane Idalia in 2023 continue to remain in Everglades National Park thanks to available forage and quality habitat—a bright pink indicator of the success of our Everglades conservation efforts.”
