Did you know that Florida is home to over three thousand black bears? Unfortunately, due to human activity, black bears and Florida panthers are becoming isolated to areas that don’t allow them to freely move between territories. This means that there is less space for black bears to share with other black bears, and panthers with panthers, resulting in conflicts over territory and possibly local extinction.
To help conservation efforts, our Orlando airboat rides at Wild Florida donates a percentage of our alligator picture proceeds to the Friends of the Florida Panther Refuge. It’s no easy feat, but there are many people spreading awareness and support for a proposed Florida Wildlife Corridor. In efforts to give the wildlife more room to freely roam, the Florida Wildlife Corridor would be an established area of continuous rural land linking Florida and Georgia. Not only does it protect species like black bears and panthers, but it keeps the watershed draining into the Everglades more clean and secure.
Our Orlando airboat rides aim to be proactive in preserving the Everglades along with the wildlife that call Florida home. The project aims to utilize millions of acres of land so these precious animals can freely wander without confrontation.
