A Perfect Partnership: Florida Conservation Group Backs "King of the Everglades"
When science-based conservation meets authentic storytelling, magic happens.
We're thrilled to announce that The Florida Conservation Group has donated and pledged their support to our "King of the Everglades" project! Their science-based land conservation expertise makes them the perfect partner for our Croczilla quest. We're incredibly excited to have the backing of another wonderful Florida non-profit! Can't thank the Board and President David "Lefty" Durando enough for listening to our pitch and donating to our cause.
A Shared Vision for Florida's Future
Florida Conservation Group isn't just another environmental organization—they're the boots-on-the-ground experts who've been quietly protecting Florida's most critical landscapes for years. Their mission centers on science-based land conservation, working directly with scientists, policymakers, agencies, and landowners to ensure that the state's highest-priority lands are identified and protected.
What makes FCG exceptional is their comprehensive approach. They don't just advocate for conservation; they facilitate it. From ecology and agriculture to real estate and policy, they guide landowners through the entire land acquisition process, turning conservation dreams into protected realities. This hands-on expertise has made them instrumental in preserving thousands of acres of Florida's natural and agricultural landscapes.
Where Conservation Science Meets Storytelling
The alignment between FCG's mission and our "King of the Everglades" project couldn't be more perfect. While we're tracking down Croczilla to tell his remarkable story, FCG is working behind the scenes to ensure that creatures like him have protected habitats to call home for generations to come.
Our documentary showcases the incredible conservation comeback of American crocodiles—a success story that's only possible because of the kind of science-based land protection that FCG champions every day. When we film Croczilla navigating the restored waterways of the Everglades, we're documenting the fruits of exactly the kind of collaborative conservation work that defines FCG's approach.
President David "Lefty" Durando and the FCG board understand that conservation isn't just about policy papers and land acquisitions—it's about inspiring people to care. Our documentary serves as a powerful vehicle to showcase why their work matters, transforming abstract conservation concepts into compelling, real-world stories that audiences can connect with emotionally.
The Power of Partnership
This partnership represents something deeper than financial support. It's a recognition that lasting conservation requires both protection and inspiration. FCG protects the land; we tell the stories that make people fall in love with what's being protected.
Together, we're demonstrating that Florida's conservation community is united in purpose—whether you're negotiating land deals or navigating Everglades channels with a camera, we're all working toward the same goal: ensuring that Florida's incredible biodiversity thrives for future generations.
FCG's support validates our approach to conservation storytelling. They see what we see: that Croczilla's story isn't just about one remarkable crocodile, but about an entire ecosystem's resilience and the dedicated people working to protect it.
Looking Ahead
With Florida Conservation Group's backing, we're not just funding a documentary—we're investing in a new model of conservation communication. One that bridges the gap between scientific expertise and public engagement, between policy work and popular culture, between preservation and inspiration.
Their support ensures that "King of the Everglades" will be more than entertainment; it will be an educational tool that showcases real conservation success while inspiring others to support the critical work being done by organizations like FCG across Florida.
Thank you, Florida Conservation Group, for believing in our mission and understanding that sometimes the best way to protect a place is to help others fall in love with it first.
