Community Profile

Summary

Orlando is one of the most visited destinations in the world. With over 68,000,000 visitors a year, we have a unique opportunity to engage our community about wildlife and urban habitat. Mayor Buddy Dyer's Sustainability Initiative, Green Works, is helping Orlando become one of the most environmentally-friendly, economically and socially vibrant communities in the nation. One of the seven focus areas in Green Works is livability, which involves improving the quality of life for our community and creating more vibrant, natural spaces for our residents. The promotion of wildlife and urban wildlife habitats helps create these spaces that everyone can enjoy. Our commitment to becoming a certified NWF Community Wildlife Habitat combined with our pledge to help monarch butterfly populations with the Mayor's Monarch pledge, will once again reaffirm our commitment to becoming one of the most environmentally-friendly communities in the nation.
