“The Everglades can’t speak for itself. Will you speak for it by donating to Friends of the Everglades during Give Miami Day? We work tirelessly to restore and preserve our wonderful, diverse and rich Everglades ecosystems. With so much uncertainty about the future, help us protect the treasures we have left!”
— Mitchell Latzman, Science & Policy Analyst at Friends of the Everglades
Friends of the Everglades is a grassroots, nonprofit organization founded in Miami in 1969 by Marjory Stoneman Douglas that advocates for the protection of Florida's precious natural ecosystems. When pollutants and toxic algae plague our waters, when sugarcane burning harms air quality in the Glades communities south of Lake Okeechobee, and when the health of the Everglades' unique ecosystem is threatened, we educate and activate the public so we can collectively have a positive impact on environmental policy. We walk in the footsteps of our founder, Marjory Stoneman Douglas, by promoting a greater understanding of the importance of protecting, preserving, and restoring the only Everglades in the world.
