Florida Wildlife Corridor

Since the construction of I-4 over 50 years ago, the highway has become a barrier to wildlife movement.

Carlton Ward discusses this and other points during a first-ever Florida Wildlife Corridor Summit.

It's the second major purchase since state officials put a priority on preserving natural land in those wildlife corridors.

Following the screening, there will be a discussion about efforts to conserve the Florida Wildlife Corridor with the film director and representatives from the National Geographic Society.

State lawmakers have taken another step toward preserving land that could eventually become a corridor for wildlife to migrate within Florida. It's one of the first steps in implementing the Florida Wildlife Corridor Act.
