The Florida Wildlife Corridor is home to many native species including panthers, black bears and alligators. This week, Gov. Ron DeSantis passed the Florida Wildlife Corridor Act, which allocated around $400 million to protect millions of acres of the state's precious green space.
The animals' natural lives for the most part remain a secret to Floridians. To catch glimpses of them in the wild, Carlton Ward Jr. sets a camera trap and bides his time. "I wait for the animal to take its own picture," said Ward, a conservationist, wildlife photographer and lifelong Floridian.More Related News
