SUNSET over the
APALACHICOLA NATIONAL FOREST
Northwest Florida in addition to the adjacent
Gulf Coastal regions of Alabama,
Mississippi, and Georgia, contain the
highest biodiversity of flora & fauna and is home to more species of plants & animals than any other comparable region
in the entire U.S. The purpose of the NWFLEC organization is to raise public awareness of the incredible natural history of
this region.
The Purpose and Goals of the
NWFLEC Include:
A) Preservation and improvement of the natural and native environment and ecosystems of NW Florida. Special
emphasis will be placed on the biodiversity of the Florida Panhandle; endemic, specialized and unique, and rare and endangered
species. Adjacent areas of Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi and northern Gulf Coastal regions will also be of concern.
B) Increased public natural history education, conservation and awareness of the biodiversity and the
unique environment of northwest Florida and adjacent areas.
C) Aid private, local, County, State and Federal agencies and organizations, agriculture, and the general
public in environmental education, conservation, economic planning and development of the northern Gulf Coastal region. The preservation, conservation and proper ecological management of endemic, critical
and rare and endangered species and ecosystems will always be the highest priority of the NWFLEC. Responsible, sustained and renewable usage of our natural resources and development activities will always
be highly stressed.
D) The ultimate goal of the Northwest Florida Environmental
Conservancy will be to establish and build a very unique nature center called the Northwest
Florida Nature Center!
The
lack of public knowledge and understanding of this incredible region has raised the awareness for the need for an organization
that is solely dedicated to the conservation and environmental education of the Florida Panhandle and the adjacent Gulf Coastal
areas.
