Did You Know?
The Everglades is the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States and has been declared a World Heritage Site, an International Biosphere Reserve, and Wetland of International Importance.
The Everglades is half the size it was 100 years ago. Half. This loss of habitat has caused the populations of several species in the area to decline. 23 animal species that call the Everglades home are on both the Endangered Species and Threatened Species lists.
The Florida Everglades holds most of South Florida’s drinking water. The day we destroy it our quality of life will change drastically.
Unfortunately, this environmental wonder is in crisis.
Please join us on our quest to save this remarkable place.
