The driving force behind the one of the most significant environmental restoration projects in the world, The Everglades Foundation is currently working to ensure continued access to freshwater for more than 9 million Floridians. Through advocating for funding for Everglades restoration projects, they are also working to stop yearly blue-green algae outbreaks that clog some of the state’s waterways, impacting the environment and economy. A recent LightHawk Conservation flight with The Everglades Foundation Chief Science Officer, Dr. Steve Davis, showcased a unique bird’s-eye view of this critical restoration project and the breathtaking landscape it aims to preserve.
