Extension is a partnership between state, federal, and county governments to provide scientific knowledge and expertise to the public. The University of Florida (UF), together with Florida A&M University (FAMU), administers the Florida Cooperative Extension Service.
 Transportation, production of manufactured goods and human inhabitation all contribute to a more advanced society, yet an ever-rising carbon footprint – one that has had impacts on the environment such as climate change, global warming and the endangerment of certain species. |
 La Florida or "the place of flowers" was named by European explorers because of its thriving wildflowers. Since then, human inhabitation and farming have reduced the prevalence of Florida's once–loved wildflower populations. Now, with new research and technology, IFAS researcher Hector Perez is helping the restoration effort by uncovering aspects of wildflower biology for maximum seed potential that can inform restoration practitioners and native plant producers. |
 Modern-day researchers are faced with the responsibility of finding new ways to conserve natural resources such as freshwater. |
 Hurricanes are utterly destructive forces that afflict the coastlines of Florida with surging water and 100+ mph winds. It is hard to think that any species can sustain such storms. However, a new study shows that a tiny species of shorebirds is not only sustaining storms, they are benefitting from them. |
