Public Lands |
Florida has the most
ambitious land acquisition program of any state. Find out what public money has bought. |
|
Private Lands |
More than 50% of
Florida's land area is controlled by a small group of individuals involved in agriculture
& forestry. To a large degree, the owners of these lands will decide Florida's future.
These landowners are sometimes depicted as enemies of the environment. They're not. They
are the greatest allies anyone could hope to have in shaping the state's future. Here's
why. |
|
Florida
Farms |
Florida farms produce
253 agricultural commodities. Here's information on the people and places behind Florida's
2nd most important industry. |
|
Florida Forests |
Forestry also is an
important land use, economic activity and recreation resource. |
|
The Environment |
Protecting Florida's
fragile environment poses serious challenges ... particularly in the face of the state's
enormous population growth. |
| Economic
Studies |
Most people give
little thought to the food they eat each day. Floridians are no different. Few understand
how important the state's farms and ranches are to their well being, and to the health of
Florida's environment & economy. These studies put agriculture's enormous contribution
into perspective. |

| Regulatory Issues |
Today's regulatory
climate evolved from a need to protect public health, safety and welfare and the
environment. The result has been thousands of rules, which are enormously time consuming
... to comply with and enforce ... and cost businesses, government and
taxpayers billions of dollars each year. Unfortunately, some rules and regulations do
not always have their desired effect. Several creative alternatives are now being
explored. Here's the latest information on these efforts. |

Endangered Species |
Links to the best
sites on the Internet describing the Florida panther, manatee and other endangered species
that are found only in Florida. |
|
The Everglades |
This ecosystem is
unique ... the only one of its kind in the world. U.S. taxpayers are spending billions to
protect and restore it. But a bitter debate rages: what really is happening to the
Everglades? Perhaps the biggest challenge is sorting out fact from all the emotion &
guesswork. |
| Discussion
Groups |
Take part in an
innovative program to recognize & reward private landowners for the pivotal role they
can play in the survival of the Florida panther and other threatened & endangered
species. |
