Audubon Florida releases Biannual State of the Everglades Report

Posted

 

Twice each year, the Audubon Florida Everglades team brings together updates on restoration, research, and policy issues impacting the River of Grass. The Spring 2025 issue is now available.

“As we reflect on the progress and challenges of 2025, I’m reminded once again of the strength and dedication of the Everglades community—our partners, members, volunteers, and advocates,” says Director of Everglades Policy Kelly Cox, Esq. The organization celebrated two champions of the Everglades whose legacies have helped shape the course of restoration, including the now-retired state research director Jerry Lorenz, PhD, and Charles Lee, whose tireless work over five decades earned him a place in the Everglades Coalition Hall of Fame.
