Take Action: Take Action for the Threatened Big Cypress Reserve!
Tell the National Park Service to halt its plans to open up the Big Cypress Reserve to public use.
Goal: 20,000

Progress: 5,544
Sponsored by: The Rainforest Site
The Big Cypress National Reserve in Southern Florida is a beautiful forestland that's home to many unique and endangered species, such as the Sandhill Crane and the West Indian Manatee. The Big Cypress is also home to several Native American tribes.
The National Park Service (NPS) has decided to open the Big Cypress Reserve to public use — an action that will allow anyone to hunt in the area as well as use it for other recreational activities. This includes the use of motor vehicles on the reserve.
We can't risk destroying precious plant and animal life just so we can give humans more ground with which to conduct environmentally damaging activities. We must fight for the most biologically diverse region of Southern Florida and oppose these proposals. Tell the NPS to halt their plans to allow destructive human activity on the Big Cypress Reserve.
Dear National Park Service:
I am very unhappy with your proposal to open up the Big Cypress National Reserve in the Everglades to hunting and motorized vehicles.
Big Cypress Reserve is home to many unique species of plants and animals, including mangroves and the Florida panther. This region is also home to several Native American tribes.
However, if we allow humans to being conducting activities such as hunting and utilizing motorized vehicles, this beautiful and pristine area will suffer erosion and other grave environmental implications.
Please keep the safety and continuation of the Big Cypress Reserve in mind and reverse your decision to open it up to public use.
Thank you for your time.

This is outrageous and unacceptable. Please do the right thing for Florida's precious, disappearing wildlife and wild lands, and reverse your calamitous decision!
