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.

Amazon founder Bezos seeks free pass for his space company to contaminate Indian River Lagoon
By Staci-lee Sherwood In 2021 Jeff Bezos, founder of Blue Origin space tech company, sued NASA after losing a $2.9 billion contract to Elon Musk’s SpaceX. The irony is that SpaceX has had a LOT of failures. The lawsuit wasn’t about quality it was about something closer to home…ego. Now Bezos has set his sights on Florida. Lame duck Florida Governor Desantis and his very polluter friendly Florida Dept of Environmental Protection (FDEP) are about to give a free pass to bi

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

Is the American Flamingo making a comeback in Florida?
By Staci-lee Sherwood If you ever get the chance to see flamingos in the wild it’s a sight worth the travel. A group of them is called a flamboyance and their striking color, size and striking features do make for a flamboyant and memorable sight. There are now just 6 distinct species of flamingos left in the world, prior to 1900 there were more than 22: American flamingo: (also known as the Caribbean flamingo), Andean flamingo, Chilean flamingo, Greater flamingo, James'

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

Florida Atlantic University gets nod from FWC to destroy protected Owl habitat
By Staci-lee Sherwood Contrary to what the public thinks (hopes) the word ‘protection’ means little to the government agencies paid by taxpayers to protect something. This is clearly on display in Florida and has been a growing global trend for years. Despite a species of either animal or plant receiving legal status as threatened or endangered little is actually done to protect them from manmade harm. The latest example are the Burrowing Owls . Under federal law, the U

Trucks & Shorebirds don’t mix – time to ban this shameful Florida policy
By Staci-lee Sherwood What would summertime be without shorebirds dancing on the sand? Who hasn’t gone to the beach and smiled quietly watching shorebirds skim the water for food or seemingly try to out run the tide as it rolls in? Shorebirds of all species have been around for 10 of millions of years, long before humans showed up. Fossil records estimate that shorebirds made an appearance on Earth about 50 million years ago. Sadly their global population is in decline.

Florida set for 2025 Bear hunt (massacre) despite public outcry
By Staci-lee Sherwood When one thinks of bears they often think of the fuzzy cubs with the bright curious eyes and funny antics of tree climbing. As sweet as bears look they can be a force of nature, which is how Mother Earth designed it. How Americans came to fall in love with bears is an often misquoted story. In 1902 big game hunter former President Teddy Roosevelt was on a bear hunt with other hunters. They tied a bear to a tree and encouraged Roosevelt to shoot t

Florida Panthers’ future hangs in the balance – does government plan to save the rare cat ?
By Staci-lee Sherwood The Florida Panther is Florida’s official state animal but may not be around much longer if developers have their way. Written on Florida’s own Department of State website “The most endangered of all Florida's symbols is its state animal, the panther (Felis concolor coryi) which was chosen in 1982 by a vote of students throughout the state. The Panther has been protected from legal hunting in Florida since 1958. It has been on the federal endangered s

Florida’s Endangered Key Deer – is time running out to save them?
By Staci-lee Sherwood The Florida Key Deer are a subspecies of the White-tailed Deer, only found on Big Pine to Sugarloaf Keys . Their adorable diminutive size make them popular for people to photograph and watch. We all know the more popular an animal the more prone they are to human caused problems it’s just a fact we can’t ignore. Over the years human feeding of deer has led to many being raised without fear of humans they need to survive. Feeding wildlife isn’t just

Saving the Purple Martins from extinction in 2024
By Staci-lee Sherwood I bet you didn’t know that Purple Martins were in trouble and in need of our help to save them from extinction. Like most people, I had no idea about their lifecycle and how it centered on successful interactions with humans. Despite being around for millions of years, over time things drastically changed when they went from wild nesters to those that are dependent on humans for their very survival. I had the pleasure of meeting with Shelly Rozenberg

Have we gone overboard on banding birds ?
By Staci-lee Sherwood I remember back when I was a kid it was a rare sighting to see a bird banded or a wolf wearing a radio collar. Nowadays these are more common sightings but how much good does this actually do? Keep in mind that when a bird is banded several people are involved in the process. Most of the time these people are paid and often it’s not just one group of people but a variety from different non profits or universities. Before a bird is banded: someone has

A feather worth more than gold: history of hunting birds for the feather trade
By Staci-lee Sherwood At the turn of the 20th century bird feathers were worth more than gold. It’s hard to believe but true. History classes teach about those who traveled out west seeking fortune and fame panning for gold but little is said about the feather hunters. For many fortune hunters the gold they sought were pink and white and floated in the air. They also belonged to living creatures who would soon be hunted to near extinction. The use of feathers is centuries

Giraffes: Africa's iconic species often forgotten in the fight against extinction
By Staci-lee Sherwood One can’t think of Africa without visions of Giraffes. These exotic animals have dotted the landscape as long as man as been alive. Now they are in serious trouble and their future is threatened. There are an estimated 68,000 giraffes left but accurate population numbers of wild animals can be difficult to obtain. Over the years it’s thought their population has dropped by over 40 %, mostly due to hunting and habitat loss and degradation. While those

Whales & Dolphins face threats from every angle
By Staci-lee Sherwood For millions of years the ocean was home to a variety of marine mammals. Until humans arrived they survived and thrived. For thousands of years there was an abundance of fish, whales, dolphins and sea turtles. The coral reefs were massive and full of color and the ocean itself was clean and provided a bounty of food. Once humans industrialized, commercial fishing and whaling industries took off. As fishermen plundered the ocean taking more and more w

Bear Bile - the cruelest industry you probably never heard about
By Staci-lee Sherwood Did you know there’s an industry based on extracting bear bile from their gall bladders for human use? The method for removing the bile is considered one the cruelest and most painful things we humans do to animals. Moon bears in Vietnam and China are forced to wear these metal contraptions around their middle for decades while in constant agony. If this were being done to humans you know there would protests to shut the industry down. We humans rare

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.
