Pelican Island Wilderness

America’s first national wildlife refuge. Established by Teddy Roosevelt in 1903, Pelican Island protected a tiny mangrove island and its nesting birds when no one else would. Just 5 acres that changed conservation forever. This Florida landmark proved that small places matter—that protecting habitat, no matter the size, sets precedent. Every refuge that followed owes its existence to this scrappy island. Rep the place where wildlife protection in America began.
