Dear Carlton,
As we step into this season of gratitude, I find myself reflecting on Wildpath's remarkable journey, and I am writing with deep appreciation for the unwavering support you have provided. Your steadfast commitment is pivotal to our achievements, and I truly celebrate our partnership.
What We’ve Accomplished, Together
A testament to the impact of your generosity is the success of Wildpath’s Path of the Panther project. This initiative led to the unanimous passage of the Florida Wildlife Corridor Act and inspired the Florida legislature to commit an impressive $2 billion for conservation easements and land acquisition within the Corridor. This historic achievement not only underscores the effectiveness of our collective efforts but also establishes a formidable precedent for the scale of impacts we can accomplish together.
The Path of the Panther project beautifully reminds us of the extraordinary results that emerge when place-based storytelling, conservation priorities, and policy solutions converge.
The Path Ahead...
I am looking to the future motivated by the urgency of our conservation challenges and the confidence that we have the tools to solve them. My commitment to protect the remaining 8 million acres in the Florida Wildlife Corridor is steadfast, starting with 800,000 acres needing protection by 2030.
While Wildpath continues to lead storytelling focused on the Florida Wildlife Corridor, I am thrilled to share our engagement in several exciting new campaigns that expand beyond Florida. Through a partnership with the US Department of Defense’s Sentinel Lands program, Wildpath is scaling our storytelling and advocacy efforts to safeguard large-scale wildlife corridors centered around military bases throughout America. We are also beginning expand our land conservation legacy to protect wildlife corridors in the ocean. Our first marine campaign, Gulf of Mexico: Paths to Protection, is launching with initial grants from the National Geographic Society and featuring renowned ocean scientist Dr. Sylvia Earle. Please stay tuned for more details soon on this exciting work ahead!
Your support continues to be the driving force behind our success, and I eagerly anticipate achieving even greater milestones together in the months and years ahead. To ensure our momentum, please consider a donation to enable Wildpath to continue harnessing the power of storytelling to grow movements and shape conservation policy.
Thank you again for being an integral part of our Wildpath family.
With immense gratitude, and best wishes,
Carlton
