AI Summary
- Designates April 22, 2025, as "Florida Wildlife Corridor Day" and affirms the corridor's environmental, cultural, economic, and tourism value as a unique natural resource
- The Florida Wildlife Corridor encompasses more than 18 million acres, including 10 million acres of public conservation lands and nearly 8 million acres of opportunity areas still needing protection
- More than 300,000 acres within the corridor have been approved for protection since July 2021, with a goal of protecting an additional 600,000 acres by 2030
