Orvis has made protecting the Everglades the
focus of their conservation efforts this year, and CEO, Perk Perkins, has been leading the charge by taking out a
full-page ad in the Miami Herald,
meeting with state legislators to lobby in support of pro-Everglades legislation, and writing op eds.
Today, Orvis premiered a new video from Florida filmmaker
Dan Decibel Diez, made with support from Orvis and many of their partners in the fly-fishing industry, as well as others. The list of sponsors at the end of the video includes some of the biggest names in manufacturing, media, and conservation. This is a vital cause that is bringing us all together because
now is the time to act.
The folks at the
Everglades Foundation have communicated that these collective efforts are making a difference and that those with influence are listening. Lets keep the voices loud and consistent on the heels of this work.
