## Description

Florida Defenders of the Environment is a conservation organization working to protect freshwater resources, conserve public lands, and provide environmental education. Founded in 1969, it focuses on Florida’s natural places, with particular attention to the Ocklawaha River ecosystem and efforts to advance its partial restoration. The organization shares information about river ecosystems, wildlife, dams, aquatic herbicides, environmental economics, and the Florida Wildlife Corridor’s Ocala-to-Osceola critical linkage. Its educational resources include factsheets, an interactive map, documentaries, interviews, and articles explaining the effects of dams on rivers and biodiversity. Florida Defenders of the Environment also pursues legal actions, builds partnerships, and encourages public participation through volunteering, leadership opportunities, organizational sign-on efforts, and other calls to action. It publishes news and a newsletter to keep supporters informed, and provides information such as a voter guide on local conservation measures. Through advocacy, research-based information, and community engagement, the organization aims to help Floridians understand environmental challenges and support the protection and restoration of the state’s freshwater ecosystems and public lands.
