I had fallen victim to the fallacy of the 'growing edge'; the belief that only the very frontier of scientific advance counted; that everything that had been left behind by that advance was faded and dead.

#Florida's #WildlifeCorridor Is Turning Five!
#LiveWildly Celebrates with a New Interactive Map Showing How Greater Conservation Inside the Corridor Can Bring Billions in Benefits
Press Release • Jul 1, 2026
Nearly half-a-million acres of the Corridor's lands and waters have been protected since 2021 - but much more is needed
Excerpt: " 'The story of the Wildlife Corridor is still being written,' said Meredith Budd, Deputy Director of the Live Wildly Foundation. 'In just five years, the impact of the Corridor is already being felt by communities across Florida. But much more can - and must - be done to ensure future generations will continue to benefit from the Corridor's vibrant lands, waters and #wildlife.'
"More than 8 million acres of 'opportunity areas' - healthy lands and waters threatened by #fragmentation and #UnsustainableDevelopment - lie within the #WildlifeCorridor. Through the interactive map, users can identify opportunity areas such as:
- More than 2 million acres of land that recharge aquifers that store and filter water
- Some 3.4 million acres of floodplains that absorb and slow the spread of flood waters, helping shield communities for disasters
- 5 million acres of lakes, rivers and other surface water areas that support communities, wildlife, recreation and businesses
- More than 5 million acres of farms, ranchlands, timberlands and other working lands.
"Florida's Wildlife Corridor is a network of connected lands and waters that spans 18 million acres from the #Panhandle to the #Everglades. It supports 114,000 jobs and generates $30 billion in annual revenue through recreation, tourism, agriculture, forestry, and other industries. The Corridor also is home to nearly half of Florida's species - including #manatees, #GopherTortoise, #BurrowingOwl, and the #FloridaPanther."

Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man.

Ofcls announced a temp closure earlier in June & sent all of the detainees to other facilities, saying hurricane season made it #unsafe to keep them in the #Everglades.
#Immigration advocates said the tents were never safe or #humane for holding people. Detainees at the facility have talked about their difficulty accessing lawyers & described poor physical conditions, including worms in the food, toilets that didn’t flush, floors flooded with fecal waste, & mosquitoes & other insects everywhere. -

“Alligator Alcatraz,” the remote #Florida immigration detention center that faced harsh criticism for its conditions, has shut down nearly a year after opening, Gov DeSantis said Thursday.
DeSantis said the center at an isolated airstrip in the #Everglades was always meant to be only temporary until more permanent detention centers could be secured & federal ofcls now have that capacity.#law #Trump

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐍🐊 Biologists in #Florida tracked 40 male "scout #snakes" using radio telemetry to locate breeding females, removing 177 invasive Burmese #pythons weighing a combined 8,080 lbs (3,665 kg) from #Collier County.
This targeted approach stopped roughly 4,100 unhatched python #eggs from hatching and further damaging the delicate #Everglades food web.

A plot, if there is to be one, must be a secret. A secret that, if we only knew it, would dispel our frustration, lead us to salvation; or else the knowing of it in itself would be salvation. Does such a luminous secret exist? Yes, provided it is never known. Known, it will only disappoint us.
