James Gaddis, a former cartographer, described himself as an 'ethical whistleblower' after leaking plans for golf courses and hotels in Florida's state parks.
While mapping out proposed hotel locations and golf courses in pristine habitats, Gaddis felt increasing disgust and realized he couldn't remain silent any longer.
After his disclosures sparked public protests and backlash against the proposed developments, Florida's Department of Environmental Protection withdrew the plans.
Gaddis has drawn widespread praise on social media as a hero for standing up against what many consider damaging development in protected areas.
