Conservation is a major part of the Alligator Attraction's mission. Wildlife plays an important role in the health and balance of Florida's environment. Our goal is to educate residents and visitors about the abundant reptile and aquatic wildlife found in Florida to ensure their survival for future generations.

Conservation has become increasingly important as human activity and global warming negatively impact the habitats of these majestic species. Fewer natural habitats remain each year. The habitats that do remain are degraded and bear little resemblance to the wild areas that existed in the past. Habitat loss due to destruction, fragmentation and degradation of habitat is the primary threat to the survival of wildlife.

Endangered species live in danger of becoming extinct because of low or falling populations, or because they are threatened by environmental stress.
