Florida Earth Foundation has a history of working globally to make a positive impact locally. Most recently, the Palm Beach County nonprofit has created a global knowledge exchange platform called the Coastal Resilience Collaborative.
Coastal resilience is a state, national and global issue that demands attention. With rising sea-levels, stronger storms and some of the most valuable coastal real estate in the world, South Florida is particularly vulnerable to coastal events.
Life on our planet is solar powered. Plants are the original solar collectors and are the basis of the food chain. The amazing diversity of life on our planet (including us) is made possible by our nearest star, the sun. There is an unimaginable amount of clean energy available to us from this source. We just need to take advantage of if.
Known as the Center for Great Apes, the sanctuary is located in Wauchula, just a few miles from the beautiful Peace River, on 120 acres of tranquil tropical forest. Manned by a team of dedicated professionals and supported exclusively by the generosity of private donations, the sanctuary is the only one of its kind in North America to care for both species of great apes.
