Please sign the Petition - Save the Florida Wildlife Corridor

Good News from Janet Stanko--

We are NOT asking you for money—just your signature to a petition to help us save the biggest mitigation bank in the US which is in Volusia and Brevard Counties.

Please circulate this information to your network of contacts.

Miami Corporation wants to build a new city in and around a 24,000 acre wilderness that it turned into a wetland mitigation bank in Volusia and Brevard counties.  Miami Corporation is paid millions of dollars to save this land forever. But now Miami Corporation has applied to the US Army Corps of Engineers to remove land from the bank and start construction of a new city.

In 2000, Miami Corporation contracted with the US government to turn this wilderness into the Farmton Mitigation Bank—the largest mitigation bank in the United States. This land, part of the Florida Wildlife Corridor project, is home to many disappearing species, including the black bear, the bobcat, and possibly the Florida Panther.

Please sign the petition to tell the US Army Corps of Engineers that Farmton Mitigation Bank is a forever bank and Miami Corporation’s application must be rejected.  The goal is to get 5,000 petitions by October 1st to present to the US Army Corps of Engineers. “Like” us on Facebook so you can be informed about further developments on this issue.
