WELCOME! P.A.W.S. - The Peoples Alliance for Wildlife Survival, Inc., is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and conservation of Florida's indigenous wildlife and their habitats. PAWS is not a political action committee, (PAC), or a political lobby organization, though many of our members are constantly in contact with state and federal lawmakers and producers of policy regarding wildlife and conservation matters.
PAWS is all about the animals. One of our most important projects is the establishment and implementation of a FIRST RESPONDER network of veterinarians, biologists, botanists, wildlife experts, and dedicated layperson voulunteers, to rescue, treat, and rehabilitate injured wildlife with a goal of reintroduction back into the appropriate ecosystem.
All of our Officers, Directors and administrators are non-compensated volunteers. After direct expenses, over 98% of contributions made to PAWS, are utilized in efforts to reach our mission goals.

We're not only about wildlife with PAWS. We're also concerned about our animal friends with feathers, scales, tails, beaks, bills, pelts, flippers and fins. In fact, we're concerned about every indigenous wildlife species, especially those listed as ENDANGERED or THREATENED.

Questions about this site
ILLEGAL DRUG ACTIVITY in Florida's forests is extremely detrimental to wildlife that comes in contact with residual chemicals and discarded containers left behind as a result of roaming drug labs. Of course, there is also the ever-present risk of explosions and fires from these activities, as well as inherent acts of violence and intimidation that arise from them.

NOW IN THE PLANNING STAGE
We're working to put together what we hope will become Florida's largest annual charity motorcycle ride, The Ride for Wildlife, to take place in and around the Ocala National Forest, to raise awareness and funding to curtail and clean-up illegal dumping on public lands in Florida.
We need volunteers right now to help plan the event. We also need sponsors. We hope to be able to provide a catered barbeque lunch in the forest, as well as offer a substantial door prize to one lucky winner.
If you or your group would like to participate or help plan, please contact Mike Bowen at 352-288-3228 for more information
FWC has plans underway to de-list the now threatened Florida Black Bear so that they can reinstate quota hunts that will destroy the remianing population of this fabulous creature. Please call, email, or write to Mr. Nick Wiley, Executive Director, Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission. Tell them we don't want to destroy the Black Bear!
