Welcome to the Everglades!

There are a lot of endangered animals in the Everglades. If we don’t keep protecting them, inside and outside the Everglades, they could become extinct. Some of these animals are the American Alligator and Crocodile, Florida Panther, Manatee, Green Turtle, and so many more! Not all the animals there are endangered: some have a lot of their species all over the world, and others are just on the brink of being endangered. For example, there is thought to be less than 100 Florida Panthers in the wild of South Florida today.

To help the Florida Panther the Nature Conservancy Florida is helping to make sure that land with critical resources that the panther needs is being conserved. About a year ago the Conservancy did a project with the state and protected over 1528 at Black Boar Ranch. The state and the Conservancy are working on protecting a lot more land for the Panthers. To do this, they need a lot more money. So, if you want to help, you can donate money. People all over the world come to the Everglades to see all kinds of amazing animals. And if you want them to be there when you visit the Everglades, you can donate money to any of the animals there. There are so many groups and organizations saving land, space, food, water and money for the animal in the Everglades. Do you want to help? Well now you can! Click these links for ways to help:
