DeSantis Promotes Python Removals from Everglades
DeSantis spoke behind a sign that said, “Python be gone,” at the Hungryland Wildlife and Environmental Area, where three people near the governor wrestled holding a large, live python.
Ron DeSantis highlighted the state’s ongoing Everglades restoration efforts and removal of invasive Burmese pythons. At an appearance in Stuart, Florida, DeSantis encouraged people to hunt and humanely remove pythons from private lands whenever possible.
Joined by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officials in Martin County, about one hour north of Palm Beach, DeSantis said Florida has invested nearly $8 billion for restoring the Everglades and improving Florida’s water quality.
“It’s the biggest environmental restoration project in the history of the country,” DeSantis said. “Everything that we promised that we would do in terms of funding, in particular, we’ve not only fulfilled those promises, but we far exceeded the promises.
