Together, We're Racing to Protect Wild Florida

Your action today keeps the Corridor Connected.

Discover the Florida Wildlife Corridor

When you step into the Corridor, you’re in the real, wild Florida.

A vast network of forests, rivers, ranches, and farms that connect the Everglades to the Georgia and Alabama borders. It’s 18 million acres of life-sustaining land and water where wildlife can still roam freely and people can hike, paddle, and thrive.

10 Million Acres Protected

Including state and national parks, forests, and preserves plus private agricultural lands in conservation that form the backbone of the Corridor.

8 Million Acres of Opportunity

These areas are mostly farms and ranches yet to be protected, and they are critical to keeping the Florida Wildlife Corridor connected while providing room for wildlife to roam, supporting food production, and preserving water quality.

Every day, 1000+ residents move to Florida.

With them comes growing development pressure on the land.

There are ten counties* especially vulnerable to this pressure in urgent need of conservation—some with connections that could be lost forever without compatible planning. If we don’t act now, half a million acres could be gone by 2030, and another 400,000 acres by 2050.

*Acres within and around Citrus, Collier, Hernando, Osceola, Marion, Polk, Lake, Leon, Orange, and Volusia

A National Model for Conservation

The Florida Wildlife Corridor isn’t just a state treasure, it’s a blueprint for connecting landscapes across the nation.

With unanimous, bipartisan support for the Florida Wildlife Corridor Act in 2021, the 18-million-acre connected landscape was officially recognized as a geography worth protecting. Today, there are hundreds of agencies, organizations, and individuals working together to permanently connect the Corridor, making Florida a leader for collaborative, landscape-scale conservation.
