FLORIDA WILDLIFE CORRIDOR EXPEDITION EVERGLADES TO OKEFENOKEE

On January 17, 2012, the Florida Wildlife Corridor Expedition team kicked off a 1000-mile expedition over a 100-day period to increase public awareness of the need to protect and restore Florida's wildlife habitat. Bear biologist Joe Guthrie, conservationist Mallory Lykes Dimmitt, photojournalist Carlton Ward Jr., and filmmaker Elam Stoltzfus trekked from the Everglades National Park toward Okefenokee National Forest in southern Georgia. The team traversed the wildlife habitats, watersheds and participating working farms and ranches, which comprise the Florida Wildlife Corridor opportunity area.

How amazing and beautiful. What a mighty God, His handwork is beyond words. I have been introduced to a world that I was unaware of! Thank you to the team and everyone who participated in putting this documentary together. I truly appreciate this!

[@brigittewhitlow7815]

Thank you for reminding us how precious fragile and beautiful Florida is

[@emendoz1]

What an amazing documentary! I am a landscape photographer here in Florida and this video has made me realize that what I do is neither frivolous nor selfish.

[@automaticsteam]

Mosaic propaganda. Yeah, they're protecting the watershed... LOL

[@rileybrack4298]

This film perfectly captures the essence of wild Florida and how critical it is to protect it. Thank you for creating this. I look forward to sharing with my students.

[@DylanMorehouse]

I cannot appreciate y’all enough for doing what you’re doing to protect this precious gods land and thank you for documenting it!!!!! ❤🎉❤🎉❤

I wonder how this video impacted the laws in the state, if any. This is 2023 and all we see is developers having an endless grab of the land, disregarding all elements that make this land so beautiful. Lawmakers in a happy marriage with developers. Thank you for showing such amazing ecosystems. And yes, we are stewards of the land, even in our tiny space call home and surrounding spaces; we should keep them clean and as little as possible undisturbed.

Thank you for this. I learned a lot; so it was a good day.

[@seattlesportsguy2684]

Beautifully filmed

[@MyFloridaWildlifeJournal]

I love this! Thanks for sharing.

[@oldViking66]

I was born here in 66, have been here my whole life. I Love Florida, I hate what People and Big Business are doing to our State, I wish they wouldn't build another house or shopping plaza!!

[@user-qk3fk2vp9d]

Excellent

[@ricardobaquero3295]

I hope that land that went into foreclosure is purchased by a animal advocate team. We need more habitat for these animals. Say no to development!! Keep Florida Wild!!

[@katrinreal]

Nice job....very educational.

[@danielpalacios4848]

Inspiring

[@MrDTFlol]

That Black bear traveled all that in a couple of months!

[@ImwithKyle]

Awesome

[@davidluck1678]

several 2 legged animals are visible; 4 legged and flying, slithering etc. animals are mostly absent.

[@sacredweeds]

How about a wildlife overpass. There are so many animals that are fearful of underpass'

[@recidivists]

Adam Putnam and Pam Bondi... is that the portrait? Ranchers, sugar, new western Florida highways, developers... those are the evils of the state.

[@robertspangler4237]

I haven't seen a wild pink flamingo in 50 years. How can we fix that?

[@robertharlton3850]

Well Done!

[@caitd5677]

I wanna go into the Everglades where do I sign up

[@zorazorazorzzora8333]

Beautifully filmed... watched several times in-spite of it troubling my soul trouble. I wonder if the folks in the film and the camera crew ever look in the mirror.. I mean really look in the mirror ... Grateful someone was decent enough to highlight the indigenous folks..., To hear the Cuban guy say how grateful he is to be in the US a country that afforded him access and privilege, My dad died recently 86, he quietly held his anger and resentment, he worked his entire life, when we were kids growing up in Slidell, Louisiana he’d take us crabbing .... the white folks were so prejudiced... we’d fine a place near the water.. white folks let us know we weren’t welcomed , next time they’d put up signs prohibiting where we could crab, there was nowhere to go. Dad often told us how black folks were denied the right to shrimp, oysters ...etc. .... This is a beautiful documentary but troubling to me ...

[@cypressheadmusic3996]

Care to clue us in on specifically what it is you find so troubling? Based on the context, and condolences for the loss of your father, Im going to reason that it has something to do with the fact that these guys are white? If that be the case Id have to counter that if someone is devoting themselves to positivity and a cause that is good then why the hell does it matter what shade of human that person happens to be? And by any chance were the places you went crabbing located on private property?

[@mazer4112]

is there a packing list somewhere. I would love to know what to pack for such a wonderful extended trip, thank you all for planning the trip, undertaking it and sharing it with the rest of us, it truly is inspiring and I would love to take a similar trip. Thank you

[@simbaeast6846]

Real estate has killed florida it's hardly even left anything.. I only had to live here forty four years to experience the devastation of florida... I'm completely blown away. Hurricanes on top of that ... And brush fires that have consumed forest. But real estate has probably been the worst to devastate Florida.

[@RP752000]

NO CRYPTID SIGHTINGS?

[@uncleray3354]

Good God, ALL they do is talk!!! Like an endless line up of people making comments. Where is the actual footage

It is to bad those cat you love so much come from Texas

[@cypressheadmusic3996]

They have a trace of texas in them sure. The population at one point was so small that inbreeding became a serious issue so a handful of the texas cats were brought in and if Im not mistaken actually removed after a few years of breeding. The original range of the florida panther was actually out as far as Louisiana and Arkansas.

[@luigigreen9823]

Most of the cats are definitely of Florida. All those largemouth bass yall love to fish for in Texas are from Florida though

[@chipsfreak522]

Why doesn’t Mosaic tell the truth to what it truly did by raping the earth of phosphate and leaving dead earth behind? Your mining destroyed dozens of springs! Kissengen Springs, Bartow, Florida!

[@wmdunn5009]

how much did that co$t I Crossing

[@cluelessjunk2808]

No way an indigo snake is the largest snake in North America. Let alone Florida. Did y’all forget bout pythons?
