Policy
The Conservancy policy department accompanied Florida Power & Light to one of their solar array sites in Hendry County. The Conservancy has been advocating with FPL to ensure the solar arrays do not impact the threatened caracara and other wildlife. FPL has a goal of 30 million solar panels by 2030.
