The Everglades spans over 1.5 million acres, from Orlando to the Florida Keys. Not only does this Everglades National Park treasure provide daily water supply for millions of Floridians, it also serves as an ecological hotspot for thousands of different species of wildlife, including over 68 different threatened or endangered species. It is vital to the health of South Florida’s ecosystems to preserve and protect the Everglades National Park.
The Everglades National Park faces natural strains year-round, such as hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and droughts. On top of these unavoidable stresses, there are a list of manmade threats as well; pollution, development and drainage. Global warming, an issue of too much carbon dioxide in the air, is amplifying the effects of all of these threats combined, putting the Everglades and South Florida in danger.
In 2000, Congress authorized over 10.5 billion dollars to CERP – the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan. The purpose of this 35+ year project is to restore, protect, and preserve South Florida’s vital ecosystem. This restoration plan will be the largest hydrologic restoration project the United States has ever undertaken. What can you do on an individual basis to help protect the Everglades? You can help by minimizing your contribution to harmful things like pollution and global warming.
