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
  • The nearly 8 million unprotected acres consist largely of working ranches, farms, and forests, most of which can be protected through conservation easements with willing landowners to support agricultural economy and food security
  • The corridor provides flood hazard protection by keeping 10 million acres of floodplains undeveloped and connects to the Florida Greenways and Trails System and the SUN Trail Network to expand public recreation access
