More information on the closure of the detention center in the Everglades: “Finally it looks like ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ is meeting its end,” said the Center’s Elise Bennett. “But the Trump and DeSantis administrations have shown we can’t trust them with Big Cypress’ future.”  Vulnerable wildlife like Florida panthers, bonneted bats, Everglades snail kites, wood storks, and countless other species depend on this landscape. We’ll be fighting to ensure the government cannot walk away from this inexcusable operation without accountability or full restoration of the site. Tune in tomorrow at 10 a.m. ET for more information from our on-site press conference. #wildlifeconservation #forthewild #wildlifeprotection
