Dear U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service,
I support the Everglades to Gulf Conservation Area proposed to protect environmentally sensitive lands in Southwest Florida.
The proposal builds upon and compliments existing programs like the Florida Wildlife Corridor Act, Florida Forever, and Rural & Family Lands Protection Programs by providing another way to work with landowners in protecting at-risk habitat from being developed. The proposal supports the protection of family farms and ranches, improved water quality, natural resource based tourism, and the land connectivity needed for Florida’s wide-ranging wildlife like the Florida panther and Florida black bear.
The Everglades to Gulf Conservation Area is a critical next step toward achieving the land protection needed for both wildlife and people.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
