These freshwater turtles hide underwater, with only their snorkel-like noses visible. Fast carnivores vital to Florida’s ecosystems! If you see one crossing the road, help it safely across—no relocations. Protect wetlands!🐢 #everglades #friendsoftheeverglades #turtle #tortoise

There's a documentary short called "Alligator Altar" that's coming to YouTube in November, and that follows Miccosukee activist and elder Betty Osceola and the prayer services she held outside of Alligator Alcatraz the whole time it was operating.

Two new reports confirm it: "Alligator Alcatraz" was a fiasco. A federal watchdog found the camp failed health and safety standards, including 18-sq-ft cages. Florida drained its emergency fund to $6.4M, with $187M going to Alcatraz contractors. Follow us.

This core message from Marjory Stoneman Douglas, the woman who founded Friends of the Everglades in 1969, guides our work every day. 

Remember, be a nuisance where it counts. Never give up. Keep up the fight.

🚨UPDATE ON “ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ” 🚨The mass detention center built in the heart of the Everglades is still open and still causing harm. That’s the bad news.The good news: Our case to shut it down is moving forward in the appeals court. We just filed a brief with the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals showing that the facts and the law still demand compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act, a bedrock environmental law that was ignored when “Alligator Alcatraz” was rushed into place. 👀 And here’s one of the smoking guns: Florida applied for and was awarded a $600 MILLION FEMA grant for this site.Federal funding is one of many reasons “Alligator Alcatraz” must comply with federal law. Period.We’re fighting to restore the injunction that previously halted new activity and stopped new detainees from arriving, and we’re pushing for the legally required environmental review and public input that never happened.This fight is far from over. We’re scheduled for oral arguments in the appeals court the week of April 6 — and we’re determined to hold the government accountable. AGAIN.Thank you for standing with us. We’ll keep you updated every step of the way. 💚Learn more about our lawsuits against “Alligator Alcatraz” at everglades.org.#everglades #alligatoralcatraz #nepa
