What makes us unique?

The springtime is almost here! As the temperatures start to heat up and beachgoers enjoy longer days on our sandy shores, much of Florida’s diverse wildlife also becomes more active. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) shared some annual reminders with us regarding ways to reduce conflicts and help conserve our native species here in the Sunshine State! Migration, breeding, feeding, and nesting are all on the rise this time of year, increasing the likelihood of encounters between wildlife and people. The following tips can protect native wildlife and reduce the chances of disrupting their natural behaviors (both in spring months and year-round).

Most young animals are not orphaned, and their parents are often nearby, foraging for food. If you suspect the animal might be injured or orphaned, you can report it to a licensed wildlife rehabilitator. Your nearest FWC Regional Office is also a great resource.
