The Senate Resolution, introduced by Senator Brodeur, emphasizes the critical importance of the Florida Wildlife Corridor, highlighting its environmental, cultural, economic, and tourism significance as a vital natural resource. The resolution acknowledges the establishment of the Florida Wildlife Corridor Act in 2021, which designated over 18 million acres of land, including 10 million acres of public conservation lands. It stresses the urgency of protecting nearly 8 million acres of opportunity areas that connect these conservation lands, particularly in light of Florida's population growth and the resulting urban sprawl that threatens rural and natural areas. The resolution also notes the substantial funding appropriated by the Legislature for conservation programs, which have led to the protection of over 400,000 acres since July 2021.

Furthermore, the resolution recognizes the collaborative efforts of various state programs, such as the Florida Forever program and the Rural and Family Lands Protection program, which have successfully engaged landowners in conservation initiatives. It highlights the increased interest from landowners in preserving agricultural lands within the corridor and the expansion of public access to the area through the connection to the Florida Greenways and Trails System. The resolution concludes by designating February 17, 2026, as Florida Wildlife Corridor Day, underscoring the state's commitment to balancing conservation efforts with the need for development as the population continues to grow.
