As a candidate for governor, Ron DeSantis said he would stand up to special interests and protect Florida’s environment. Now the governor-elect has assembled an environmental transition committee, and environmental advocates are watching closely to see what happens once he takes office.

Charles Lee, director of advocacy for Audubon Florida, joins Intersection for a conversation about some of the biggest environmental challenges facing the sunshine state, and his hopes for a renewed focus on preserving the natural environment of Florida under the leadership of Ron DeSantis.
