Everglades Info
The Everglades Ecosystem
The Everglades stretches over 100 miles from the Kissimmee River and Lake Okeechobee around Disney World through Florida Bay. It has been ditched, diked, and drained for a century. Additionally, The Everglades is under assault from a constant influx of agricultural and urban pollution.
Only half of the orginal Everglades habitat remains; 50 percent has been drained. Of the nesting, wading birds that existed in the 1930's, 94 percent are gone.
The Everglades is undergoing the largest environmental repair job in human history. The Army Corps of Engineers is "re-plumbing" the system to save it. At stake is the only wetland of its kind in the world, a one-of-a-kind home to more than 50 endangered and threatened species.
