- Orlando Becomes a Certified Wildlife Habitat: On August 7, 2019, Orlando joined a group of 127 communities in the U.S. who have been recognized by the National Wildlife Federation as Certified Community Wildlife Habitats. The accreditation was awarded in recognition of Orlando’s more than 300 wildlife habitats in our neighborhoods, facilities and residents’ private yards. Through the city’s commitment to creating sustainable wildlife habitats across areas where people live, work and play, we have been able to make a difference in providing endangered wildlife, like bees, a fighting chance.
