ISLAND REPORTER • NOVEMBER 7, 1997 Q 7B Foundation celebrates 30 years of balancing needs of man and nature By Jill Goodman Staff Writer For 30 years the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF) has dedicated itself to maintain- ing the delicate balance between the ecosystem, resi- dential encroachment and tourism. With dedication and drive, nearly 2,000 acres have been acquired on the island to ensure the habitation of wildlife, of which, many species are endangered. "The land acquisition is our top priority. It's one of the ways to maintain the quality of life and ambiance the island has which is what drew people to visit and live here," said SCCF Executive Director Eric Lindblad. He continued to explain how important the balance is between maintaining the natural habitat in the face of the expanding population. "It is a challenge for anyone where it's populat- ed—to maintain what they came to see and maintain what the wildlife needs. Some animals live well with people, but others like the eagle, need a habitat to sur- vive and reproduce."
