Lower Speed Limit near SWFL Eagle Nest to Protect the Eagles

The Issue

We, the local residents, and avid followers of the SWFL Eagles in North Fort Myers, FL, USA, live in constant fear for their well-being. Witnessing these majestic adult eagles risking their lives attempting to scavenge roadkill amidst speeding vehicles breaks our hearts. Not only is this endangering our beloved eagles, but it also threatens the biodiversity of our local ecosystem. According to the National Geographic, Eagles play a pivotal role in maintaining the environmental balance as they help control rodent and other small mammal populations, thereby contributing to a balanced ecosystem. The speed limit near Dick Pritchett's property, which hosts the eagle nest, needs to be significantly decreased to protect these birds from fatal accidents. We therefore urge our local traffic authorities and lawmakers to prioritize the safety of these eagles and act swiftly. We call on you to implement a reduced speed limit in this particular area. Please share our concern for the SWFL Eagles, and join us in signing this petition so we can present a united voice to safeguard these marvelous creatures.
