🌿 Guardians of the Wild – How the Miccosukee Tribe is Protecting Florida's Heart
In the heart of Florida’s wildlands, the Miccosukee Tribe has stepped forward—not just as caretakers of their culture, but as defenders of the Earth itself.
This June, they announced a landmark collaboration with the Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation, expanding protection efforts over 18 million acres of natural habitat—home to Florida panthers, black bears, and sacred waters.
