Developers must either preserve habitat or pay fees, with proceeds funding conservation. These mice, far from ordinary house mice, help stabilize dunes by nurturing sea oats and preventing erosion. The land trust sees this as a natural extension of their mission, building on a program born during the Caribe resort’s development. Despite past political hurdles, developers have largely cooperated, proving that smart, balanced management can protect both nature and progress.
