The history, science, and influence of an innovative land acquisition program that has protected Florida’s natural ecosystems and inspired global efforts
This book traces the growth of landscape conservation planning in Florida, which has developed one of the most ambitious conservation land acquisition programs in North America. As a climate-vulnerable biodiversity hotspot facing rapid growth and development pressures, Florida offers a unique case study in adapting conservation strategies under challenging circumstances. By chronicling the state’s successes, the book offers insights into effective planning for the preservation of ecosystems and the wildlife they support.
The Florida Model combines UNESCO’s biosphere reserve framework—core protected areas with surrounding multiuse buffer zones—with the concept of wildlife corridors. Informed by decades of research in conservation biology, landscape ecology, and restoration ecology, along with island biogeography and metapopulation theory, Florida’s practitioners developed robust tools for evaluating and prioritizing land acquisitions. This work led to the creation of the Florida Ecological Greenways Network and its flagship Florida Wildlife Corridor, cemented by landmark legislation in 2021, and has inspired similar regional conservation initiatives around the world.
