The Corkscrew Sanctuary

This past Tuesday I went to the Corkscrew Sanctuary which is a National Audubon Society sanctuary located in southwest Florida. One very distinct ecosystem we experience during the trip was the Cypress Dome.
The Cypress Dome contains Balled and Pond Cypress which are protect because of extensive logging that took place in the 1940’s and 50’s. Conservation relating to the environment basically means protecting the environment from any types of harm, or waste that can cause harm. Stewardship relating to the environment means being responsible for the environment if you affect the environment in any way.

This sanctuary is protected through a non-profit organization. The role for this organization is not only to help preserve the land but help inform people of the importance of these ecosystems.
Civic engagement ties to this sanctuary because companies and residential areas are always looking at expanding. These companies do not know the importance of the ecosystem and how much it really does affect their own life’s.

The proper role of the government would be to protect Corkscrew Sanctuary and more ecosystems that share the same mission for future generations to learn about.
