This is hitting a lot of us native Floridians right in the gut. I am glad to see the protests. Great video and lots of other sources for what's going on in an effort to stop the idiot DeSantis.

One of my favorite artists, hands down, one whose work I have throughout my house, is actively voicing his dissent as well. I knew he would - he and his wife love the Everglades and wild Florida. I loved seeing him, 82 years old, with a microphone actively protesting!

The people that know and love the Everglades know how incredibly stupid Uthmeier and DeSantis are when the spout nonsense about how this is "secure" just because it's in the "dangerous" Everglades. Ask the Miccosukee, the Seminoles, ask the Gladesmen, ask the other Floridians that live there. Janet Reno grew up right on the edge of the Everglades.

Soon to be banned from every Library in the State of Florida: "The Everglades: River of Grass" by Marjory Stoneman Douglas.

There's a (currently) huge multi-faceted effort from the government and private partners to control, and hopefully eradicate, Burmese python in the Everglades. From hunts, to tracking (radio beacons to find and eliminate nests), and on and on. No one's close to giving up on it at all, if that's what you were asking.

You should google it. I bet you'd find it interesting. There's plenty of info on it.
