From the brink of extinction to more than 5 million animals today. đ
The American alligator is one of conservationâs greatest comeback storiesâand Louisiana is at the heart of it.
In Scales of Success, we explore how science, private landowners, industry, and government came together to build a sustainable-use model that helped restore the alligator while generating an estimated $250 million a year for Louisianaâs economy.
From egg collection permits and strict quotas to tracking systems now used around the world, this is a story about what happens when conservation is built on science, partnership, and putting value on wildlife and the habitat it depends on.
And with nearly 80% of Louisianaâs wetlands dependent on private landowners, the story goes far beyond the alligator.
