Protecting the native wildlife is crucial to sustaining life. If one species were to go extinct it would affect the whole food chain of that environment. The population of the plants and animals would all start to deviate from the natural order and, over time, would all end up at zero. Sustaining these environments and the wildlife will help keep our planet healthy and safe.

If Florida continues its rapid population growth over the next 5 decades and doubles in size, nearly 3 million acres of existing agricultural lands and 2.7 million acres of native habitat will be allocated to roads, shopping malls and unabated urban development.
