SANIBEL ISLAND, Fla. - Floridant -- Edison National Bank/Bank of the Islands has been named the sponsor of the Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife's (CROW) Speaker Series, which will host its next event on Tuesday, Jan. 14 from 4 to 5 p.m. at the CROW Visitor Education Center on Sanibel. The upcoming presentation, led by Mike Kirkland of the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), will highlight the impact of invasive Burmese pythons in the Florida Everglades.
Burmese pythons are Florida's poster child for invasives species in the Everglades. During this presentation, attendees will hear from Kirkland on how they harm native ecosystems and discover how they are affecting native wildlife, what efforts are being made to control their population and why these animals are deserving of respect, even though we don't want them in our ecosystem.
Kirkland is the senior invasive animal biologist for SFWMD and manager of its python elimination program, with more than 18 years of experience working on Everglades restoration projects. SFWMD is the lead organization in the removal of invasive exotic pythons from Florida lands. Under Kirkland's leadership, approximately 10,000 pythons, several nests and thousands of python eggs have been removed from the Florida Everglades.
