Many fear them, but few truly understand them. The American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) is one of nature’s most misunderstood architects.
Their nesting mounds create elevated ground that other species use for their own homes.
The “gator holes” they dig hold water during dry spells, becoming vital oases for fish, turtles, birds, and more.
Once hunted to the brink of extinction, they were saved by the Endangered Species Act—proof that conservation works.
But success is fragile. Their future is once again uncertain. Our mission is to build on that historic success by addressing new challenges through science, education, and direct action. By supporting us, you’re investing in proven, effective conservation strategies that protect not just alligators, but entire ecosystems.

But after she left her nest to regulate her temperature, a pack of raccoons—opportunistic predators—swarmed in to dig up and eat her eggs. We arrived just in time to see the first eggshell ripped open. We gently scared
