About Defenders of Wildlife’s Work in the Southeast
The Southeast is home to an incredible array of life, some of which is found nowhere else in the world. The variety of landscapes and habitats it encompasses – from the Florida Everglades to the forests of North Carolina – makes for an equally awe-inspiring variety of wildlife.

Defenders of Wildlife is working to enhance wildlife conservation in the Southeast region on multiple fronts, including:
Leading the charge to bring the endangered red wolf back from the brink of extinction and pushing for the protection and restoration of other imperiled species including the Florida panther, Florida manatee, gopher tortoise, and the Eastern Hellbender.
Connecting wildlife corridors across the region to better protect habitat and help endangered species recover.
Advocating for the protection and restoration of public lands including the expansion of the National Wildlife Refuge System.
Educating the public about coexistence actions they can take to avoid potential conflicts with wildlife and helping to offset the costs of effective coexistence measures like building livestock enclosures or purchasing bear-resistant trash containers.
