It’s Our 47th Birthday!

Today, Saturday, January 8th, 2022 is the National Wildlife Refuge
Association’s 47th Birthday! That’s 47 years of protecting, promoting, and
enhancing the National Wildlife Refuge System, the world’s largest network
of lands and waters set aside for wildlife conservation.

On The Ground In The Greater Everglades Ecosystem & Southwest Florida

The National Wildlife Refuge Association has been active on the ground in
the Greater Everglades Ecosystem and Southwest Florida. Our work in
outreach, conservation science, and land protection has resulted in
significant conservation gains to protect the most ecologically significant
landscapes in southern Florida, directly benefiting several national
wildlife refuges or the landscapes where they are located. Our work has
resulted in increased conservation funding and the permanent protection of
thousands of additional acres.
