Program Description
The coontie plant, historically utilized by Florida's indigenous people, was driven close to extinction due to European settlers' commercial exploitation. It has now rebounded as a staple in Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ practices. Similarly, the Atala butterfly, once imperiled, has benefitted from conservation efforts alongside the coontie's resurgence. This success story underscores the potential for saving other endangered species through culturally informed landscaping choices, transforming landscapes into biodiverse habitats and preserving interconnected ecosystems.
