The Florida Wildlife Corridor is a non-profit\norganization seeking to protect and educate the public about the corridor,\nwhich is a path through the state connecting land and waters that are integral\nfor native habitats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"649\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_3120_for-web-1024x649.jpg\" alt=\"A map depicting the Florida Wildlife Corridor protected areas.\" class=\"wp-image-28516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_3120_for-web-1024x649.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_3120_for-web-500x317.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_3120_for-web-768x487.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_3120_for-web-1320x837.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>A map depicting the Florida Wildlife Corridor protected areas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lauritsen began his talk by impressing upon the\naudience the importance of preserving this undeveloped land in Florida. He explained\nthat 1,000 people move to Florida every day\u2014by 2070, there will be 11 million\nmore people in the state. There is a race against time to accommodate that\ninflux of people while maintaining the beauty and health of the natural\nenvironment. According to Lauritsen, the wildlife corridor is a solution to\nthis problem. Right now, almost 10 million acres of the wildlife corridor are\nprotected in the form of state parks, forests, and springs, but almost 7\nmillion acres remain unprotected. He stressed that Florida\u2019s natural beauty and\nbiodiversity is not guaranteed for the future if there is not a movement to\nprotect it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lauritsen\u2019s goal is to educate the public and\ndecisionmakers on the importance of preserving and protecting the corridor. The\nFlorida Wildlife Corridor works with state agencies, regional conservation\nprograms, legislators, and task forces to identify ways to maintain and protect\nFlorida wildlife. They also work with local farmers and ranchers to establish\nconservation easements and create alternate solutions to protect large swaths\nof land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_3135_for-web-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Jason Lauritsen speaking to students.\" class=\"wp-image-28518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_3135_for-web-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_3135_for-web-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_3135_for-web-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_3135_for-web-1320x880.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Jason Lauritsen explains the importance of the Wildlife Corridor for creatures across the ecosystem.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Negative impacts in the natural world are not\nalways easily apparent, Lauritsen said. He cited an example of a type of\ncaterpillar that feeds on cypress trees. These caterpillars are food for many\nkinds of songbirds, and are also hosts to parasitic wasp larvae, which are\nimportant native pollinators. Hurricane Irma wiped out the foliage of these\ncypress trees in many places, leaving caterpillars without food and causing a\nchain reaction that affected birds, wasps, and plant life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf all we appreciate is the beauty and we don\u2019t\nunderstand how it works, we are going to make the wrong decisions,\u201d he said. \u201cI\nlike to think of this as taking advantage of the long lens of history and the\nfine focus of science as we progress to try to find solutions.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He went on to address the problem of isolation in\nnative habitats. The more isolated a species is, the less genetic diversity\nthey have. Connecting habitats through the wildlife corridor is especially\nimportant for black bears and Florida panthers, who need access to different\nhabitats at different times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_3125_for-web-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_3125_for-web-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_3125_for-web-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_3125_for-web-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_3125_for-web-1320x880.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lauritsen ended the talk by discussing multiple\npieces of legislation that have been created to improve wildlife conservation,\nincluding a bill that would create a wildlife crossing pilot program to reduce\nthe incidences of vehicle and wildlife collisions. Lauritsen urged the audience\nto get in touch with legislators and let them know these bills are important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Florida is currently collecting public input and\nrecommendations for a toll road bill that was signed into law earlier this\nyear, and Lauritsen sees this as a chance to make a difference in the future of\nFlorida\u2019s infrastructure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur hope is that through this planning process, [we can] push our leadership to recognize and instill ecological values for future generations.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For 10 ways you can help connect with the Florida Wildlife Corridor, check out their website, <a href=\"http:\/\/floridawildlifecorridor.org\/how-you-can-help\/\">floridawildlifecorridor.org<\/a>. \u00a0You can also watch the entire lecture online at Stetson Law&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gaF6lJu2c6s\">YouTube<\/a> channel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Taylor Allyn On Sept. 12, the Stetson Law community welcomed Jason Lauritsen, the Executive Director of the Florida Wildlife Corridor, to speak as a part of the Foreman Biodiversity lectures.
