Our mission is to support and promote the well-being of the environment and animals through various charitable initiatives. We strive to raise awareness about environmental issues and advocate for sustainable practices that protect and preserve our planet. Our foundation will work hard to preserve and protect the Florida Everglades and to help keep Florida wild. We will focus on education outreach and encouraging our youth to get involved with conservation efforts as we need another generation of impassioned environmentalists to face what the future holds. Additionally, we work towards improving the welfare of animals by supporting organizations that rescue, rehabilitate, and provide care for them. Our ultimate goal is to create a harmonious coexistence between humans, the environment, and animals, ensuring a sustainable and compassionate future for our Everglades and Florida native wildlife.

Animal Rescues
Animal Rescues
Each year we rescue dozens of turtles, birds, and even unwanted and dumped pets that we find on US 27 and the surrounding areas. We seek medical care when necessary and work hard to either get the rescued animal back into the wild whenever possible. We also work with many local rescues for dogs like Everglades Angels, or 100+ Abandoned, or Good Karma to get dogs into foster or adopted. South Florida Wildlife Center helps us with injured animals to get them medical care. Our foundation funding sees to it that these organizations are given donations and monetary support when they help us with this animals in need. Here are just a few photos of animals we have saved over the past two years.
