From our Florida offices in St. Petersburg and Tallahassee, Defenders engages in solution-oriented, science-based advocacy, education, outreach, policy development and litigation to defend Florida panthers, manatees, sea turtles, gopher tortoises and other native wildlife and to protect habitat—including a statewide network of connected conservation lands essential to the survival of many species. We also champion practical approaches to ensure that people can safely coexist with panthers, bears and other wildlife in their communities.
Defenders of Wildlife’s Predator-Resistant Enclosure Program works with rural residents and small livestock owners to build predator-resistant pens or retrofit existing enclosures.
