CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. – A South Florida wildlife hero is being recognized for her selfless actions to save injured animals who wouldn’t make it without her tender, loving care.
Tina Cortez runs a wildlife rescue center in Coral Springs and that center has been struggling since the pandemic hit. COVID-19 safety regulations forced her to reduce her staff to the bare minimum. And every week, she says, more hungry mouths come in.
For the past five years, ever since she moved to South Florida from Texas with her family, Cortez has dedicated herself to rescuing and rehabilitating native birds, animals and reptiles at the Sawgrass Nature Center and Wildlife Hospital.
