Welcome to my blog where fraud, lies and corruption are uncovered wherever they hide. Government, non-profits, media and corporations have many secrets and this is where they are exposed. This is where people go for the truth. There is a real need for more watchdog groups. Check out the Resources & Links page for links to find your federal reps, government agencies and other websites packed with important information. The About page has links to some of the testimony and interviews I've given over the years. It's not all bad news I do highlight people and organizations that genuinely contribute to the greater good and deserve recognition.

Uganda’s endangered Mountain Gorillas get help when coffee farmers partner with nonprofit
By Staci-lee Sherwood Who doesn’t like a good cup of coffee? It’s one of the few drinks you find in some form in most countries. In the US coffee is an important part of the fabric of the social structure in our culture. We have coffee houses, clubs and even group meetups. It’s part of our daily routine and in the era of the internet, of course there are memes extolling the virtues of coffee. At work there is the coffee break even for those that don’t want a cup of Joe. F

Sadness for the captive Elephants - a poem to shed light on the horrors of zoo's and circuses
So much can be said about elephants held captive Their life is suspended with no freedom to live What can be done for elephants held in slavery Now is the time we must call in the cavalry Their voice has been silenced forever it seems No longer can their little ones be able to dream These icons are treated as a commodity Exploiters of these creatures are the ones with an oddity Whips and chains have become their way of life Now is the time to end their horror and strife As c

Is Colorado really serious about Wolf recovery and conservation ?
By Staci-lee Sherwood Before the wolves have even gotten to Colorado the hunters and ranchers are already planning the hunting season, and the excuses to justify it. Is Colorado just bringing back wolves to be hunted? What is the reasoning to even consider a hunt before they even arrive? Gov. Jared Polis likes to portray himself as pro wildlife but this might be more about appeasing his husband, an animal lover, than supporting real conservation policies. Much of Colorado’s

Just how safe are pet microchips anyway?
By Staci-lee Sherwood Some of the best pets are rescued animals. They seem to know inherently this is their last chance. Unless you’ve had your pet since their birth their medical/health history is a mystery as is what they may have been exposed to. I’ve had rescued cats for over 20 years and none of them ever had a microchip. Years ago I started researching how effective and safe microchips placed in pets were. I found a lot to be concerned about. The first thing many do

In Kenya, wildlife orphans get a second chance at life
By Staci-lee Sherwood History of Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Elephants have always fascinated people. Growing up I was influenced by watching Wild Kingdom and National Geographic to appreciate their beauty and complex family structure. Their struggle to survive against mounting pressure from trophy hunters, ivory traders, habitat loss and degradation can seem insurmountable. Amidst all this negative news a bright hope shines in Nairobi, Kenya. The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust ha

Eric Sutton, FWC chief set to resign just before Florida anti lobby law kicks in
By Staci-lee Sherwood In a short email sent out December 21, 2022 Sutton says he’s leaving the agency he has led since 2017. The Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission (FWC) is often seen as the poster child for corruption, open hostility toward genuine environmentalists and animal lovers and fraud. Despite a staggering ½ billion dollar budget and their own nonprofit, their claims of saving wildlife fall flat. In fact most species are doing far worse than reported in the so c

Florida agency gets ½ BILLION budget & a ‘nonprofit’ but where does the money really go?
By Staci-lee Sherwood In the age of corruption you need not look any further than the state of Florida as a prime example. Just when you think you have heard it all, there’s Florida waiting in the wings with something even more outlandish. Their state wildlife agency, Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission (FWC) has brought the level of corruption to new heights. On the list of offenses are openly hunting endangered species like the Goliath Grouper, whose accurate population i

ANNIE AND THE LEGACY OF PLASTIC - a poem about our impact on nature
She greeted the morning with a yawn Wings stretched out to catch the wind As she soared through the air Her eyes glazed the land for food Annie the Anhinga was a bird Whose story is tragically common She had a mate She had a home She had freedom They had their courtship, made their nest Hoping like all parents The best for their chicks Life went on daily as planned The pair tended to their chicks Best they could in a hostile world They did not create She went out one morning

The wild Monkeys of Florida finally get their sanctuary
By Staci-lee Sherwood Wild animals in Florida are classified in two categories, native and non-native. Many people assume non-native means invasive, using the terms interchangeably. Not all non-native species do harm, while some species will cause environmental harm this is not true for all non- natives. There are ecological differences between non-native and invasive species. An invasive species is one that outcompetes other species for food and habitat, they can also be

Sea Turtles die as world ‘experts’ sit back do next to nothing (pt 2/2 hot sand)
By Staci-lee Sherwood Sea Turtles have been around for about 100 million years but their prospects for another 100 million years look dim. In fact sea turtles might go the way of the dinosaurs before the end of this century if things don’t turn around soon. Three major factors have caused a drastic decline in their global population; light pollution and coastal development, plastic pollution and hot sand that only produce females. Any one of these could cause extinction bu

Sea Turtles die as world ‘experts’ sit back do next to nothing - light pollution (pt 1/2)
By Staci-lee Sherwood Most people wouldn’t look at a light bulb and think it’s a weapon of mass destruction. For newborn sea turtle hatchlings they can be. Death by light pollution is one of the biggest killers globally. To put it into perspective if the hatchlings were human and not reptile the millions killed every year would qualify as an immediate global threat to life. Action would be taken because humans value their own species above all else and, for the majority,

EAGLE'S LANDING - a poem warning about their struggle against extinction
The icon of American freedom Once soared the skies In numbers too big to count But that is all changed now Much of their land has been taken Destroyed By those claiming ‘progress’ But for the eagle It just means homelessness Their food is now scarce Poisoned by pesticides Or killed by development Again because of ‘progress’ How can they survive Against the human machine Of self preservation That propels us to build a world of steel Where little else has value How can we treat

Coyotes: the other wild canine
By Staci-lee Sherwood Wolves have been in the news lately with the recent unlimited hunting that has decimated their population. Their cousin, the coyote, rarely gets the same media attention. Wolves and coyotes live in close knit packs with complex social hierarchy run by the alpha pair, usually the only pair that breeds. Solitary coyotes are usually yearlings who have ventured out on their own or old and sick members kicked out. The biggest difference is how easy the coy

Nature as art
By Staci-lee Sherwood Nature means different things to different people. To some nature is something to be conquered, even exploited for personal gain. To others nature is something to be revered and left alone. Most people fall somewhere in the middle, they appreciate nature’s beauty but still want to control some of it. In the modern world most forget that nature isn’t something we go visit, cage or conquer. Nature is us, and we humans are as much a part of the web of
