Is anyone interested in this?
THE BAD NEWS: There are some land developers in Florida who still hold a permit to bulldoze, pave, and/or build over gopher tortoise burrows, effectively burying them alive. Some of these developers have construction projects that are set to begin in just a couple of weeks, and there are gopher tortoises on site.
THE GOOD NEWS: An organization with prior experience relocating gopher tortoises to dedicated protected areas have permission from the state wildlife agency to move some of the animals in immediate danger.
THE PROBLEM: It's an expensive process, and funds are needed. I'm not asking anyone to send ME money, so don't worry, lol. BUT if you know anyone who might be interested in supporting this project, please send me a PM and I can give you all the details, including information about the nonprofit organization in charge of the relocation effort.
Thanks for caring!
