The bulldozers will not be stopped

FORT MYERS, Fla. — The National Audubon Society was unsuccessful in its bid for a preliminary injunction reversing approval for a 10,000-home residential community and a half-million acres of commercial space slated to be built next to Audubon’s Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, a 13,400-acre nature preserve in the Western Everglades. A Florida federal court was not convinced that the Audubon Society is “surely to succeed” in any of its claims brought under the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Water Act and the National Environmental Policy Act.
