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.

Wildlife SOS is saving India’s imperiled wildlife one bear and elephant at a time
By Staci-lee Sherwood When most people in western countries think of elephants they envision wild Africa. The wild west of the United States is what many think of when they hear about bears. India is home to both species, the Sloth Bear and the Indian Elephant. Back in 1996 two people took a look around and noticed some very disturbing things. They saw the daily abuse of both these species and decided, against the odds, to work on saving them. Neither set out to create

Going….going…..gone extinct. The fate of the worlds Rhinos hangs by a thin thread
By Staci-lee Sherwood The first Rhinoceros is thought to have been living on earth about 50 million years ago but that long reign is close to going extinct. Rhino’s are herbivores, like horses and deer, and belong to the hoofed class of mammals called Perissodactyls. They appeared before elephants and were once the largest land mammal to roam earth. Dozens of species of rhino’s have come and gone including the wooly rhino, much like the wooly mammoth was covered in hair.

Sharks – they outlived dinosaurs but probably not us if we continue to kill 100,000,000 a year
By Staci-lee Sherwood Sharks, as a species, have lived on Earth for hundreds of millions of years. They first evolved during the Devonian Period about 380+ million years ago and long before dinosaurs roamed. This period is called ‘the age of fishes’ when a massive and diverse growth of fish species occurred. It’s amazing and tragic to think how a species that has lived and thrived for so long could go extinct all because of one species, we humans. There are about 500 d

Death by window strike – millions of birds die this way but you can help save them with these tips
By Staci-lee Sherwood Every year billions of birds migrate from their winter home to their nesting grounds, and back again. For anyone who’s traveled long distances you know how exhausting and sometimes tedious the journey can be. When we travel to the same place we often use markers so we know we’re on the correct path. Birds do the same thing using a variety of navigational tools. Their flight paths might have been formed thousands, sometimes millions, of years ago by

US government plan to kill 500,000 Barred Owls isn’t about conservation it’s a deflection from truth.
By Staci-lee Sherwood In 2025 the US Fish Wildlife Agency, which had done some good things in the past but has since lost its way, put into action their 20 year plan to kill half a million federally protected and native Barred owls. This was sold as a way to save the declining population of the native Northern Spotted owl. If conservation were actually part of this, the owls would be relocated not killed. Cost to taxpayers who likely have no clue this is going on will be

Wolf hunters can’t hide their rabid hatred for wolves, science & conservation
By Staci-lee Sherwood Animal advocates often wonder what really makes a hunter tick? Where does the idea that killing for sport or entertainment come from and why do some gravitate toward that when the majority shun hunting? We used to have values that promoted higher learning and a culture that sought to elevate everyone through education. We used to teach that abuse of any kind was wrong. Defunding of public schools coupled with a promotion of hunting and a deafening

Everyone says they love butterflies, so why aren’t we doing more to save them?
By Staci-lee Sherwood If you live in a cold climate you know one of the first welcome signs of Spring is the sight of butterflies. If you live in a warm climate butterflies are year round residents. It’s thought the butterfly first appeared during the Eocene epoch, about 40-50 million years ago according to discovered fossils. Their development is linked to the evolution of flowering plants which exploded onto the scene about 70 million years ago. Butterflies and moths

Urban wildlife is all around us though often hidden
By Staci-lee Sherwood When people think of wildlife that live in their town or city they usually think of squirrels, small birds, raccoons and skunks. Plenty of other wildlife also eke out a living near people, but we don’t always see them. Some of those we know live nearby but rarely see are fox and coyote but many birds of prey have had to adapt to an ever developing world where trees and food are more abundant in cities. It’s not uncommon to find owls, hawks, falcons

Wildflowers – vital to a healthy ecosystem but going extinct under the radar
By Staci-lee Sherwood The best way to enjoy wildflowers is to look and photograph but never pluck. The expression ‘look with your eyes not your hands’ still holds true. Taking a few flowers while on a walk may seem innocent enough, but if everyone did that there wouldn’t be any flowers left to enjoy and feed the animals that depend on them. A seemingly small act multiplied by millions of people over decades can cause extinction. For millions of years wildflowers covered th

Dania Beach developer looks to destroy protected Mangroves & wildlife habitat for a….warehouse ?
By Staci-lee Sherwood A small parcel of wetlands, 4.2 acres, home to protected mangroves and wildlife is on the chopping block by a wealthy developer who wants to build a 64,000 square foot warehouse. According to LoopNet there are over 1200 empty warehouses available in Florida ready to lease or buy with over 400 empty warehouses in Broward County. Why have the expense of building something that already exists? This is a hidden piece of land with only a dirt road entrance

Florida’s FWC agency rife with questions about corruption & controversy
By Staci-lee Sherwood Another vote by Florida’s Fish Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has come to pass without any surprises in what many call a mock public hearing about bear hunting. It was more a dog and pony show than genuine public hearing because everyone already knew how the commission, made entirely of developers and hunters, would vote. Since January 2025 it was clear that a hunt of black bears was all but eminent. Under the ruse of management the proposed

The wild Lions of Africa
By Staci-lee Sherwood When you think of Africa and all its beauty one of the most iconic animals that comes to mind are the lions. They may be the king of the jungle but wild royalty doesn’t insulate them from canned hunts and poachers. These are the lions of Africa. Fossils show that the early Felidae originated some time at or just after the end of the Eocene or about 33 million years ago. Lions have been around a long time but their future is in real jeopardy.

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

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

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

Just when you think you have heard it all, there’s Florida waiting in the wings with something even more outlandish.

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
