“For most of the wild things on Earth, the future must depend on the conscience of mankind.”

Critter of the Year
Each year since 2007 we have chosen a Critter-of-the-Year and structured programs to build awareness of, and respect for, a particular species found in our ecosystem.
Each year's animal is the subject of the year's Wild Amelia tee-shirt design.
2022 is the year of the Loggerhead Sea Turtle. Loggerheads are by far the main sea turtle species found in Florida.

About Wild Amelia
Wild Amelia, now proudly a program of Keep Nassau Beautiful, began in 2007 when a group of volunteers joined together with the goal of protecting the natural habitat remaining on Amelia Island and in Nassau County, Florida.
The original mission of promoting a conservation ethic for our unique and fragile ecosystem continues and grows as a program of Keep Nassau Beautiful.
