Development in Manatee County could impact Hunsader Farms, Myakka Elephant Ranch

Proposed development in East Manatee County could lead to changes at the Myakka Elephant Ranch in Myakka City. Julia Braren said every piece of land is precious in Myakka City. The Myakka Elephant Ranch is home to endangered species of elephants. It also educates guests on conservation efforts. "The work we're doing with conservation impacts those all over the world. We have programs, we have support, in Tanzania and South Africa and Uganda, we're building anti-poaching ranger stations," said Julia Braren, Chief Operating Officer with Myakka Elephant Ranch.
