A White Egret preens its breeding plumage in Shark Valley, Everglades National Park. The Shark River Slough is the primary source of water into the Everglades. Its flow is being restored by new bridges along the Tamiami Trail, helping to reconnect the watershed.

Exploring the Florida Wildlife CorridorA bobcat stalks through the ancient scrub of the Red Hill at Archbold Biological Station. Wildlife species, like bobcats, bears and panthers, need connected natural habitat where they can move freely in search of food and mates.
Exploring the Florida Wildlife CorridorA diverse assemblage of trees forms the rich wildlife habitat of Highlands Hammock State Park along the Lake Wales Ridge near Avon Park and the Kissimmee River Valley to the east.
Exploring the Florida Wildlife CorridorA water lily spreads its pedals above the surface of Chase Prairie in the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge in southern Georgia. The Okefenokee is one of the largest wilderness areas in the eastern US and connects to Florida's Osceola National Forest and the Florida Wildlife Corridor.
