About " FLORIDA EVERGLADES "-->

Photo: Florida Everglades

The Everglades, also referred to as the “River of Grass,” stretches across some 7,800 square miles (20,100 square kilometers) of Florida—an area similar to the size of Massachusetts.
Home to gators, mangroves, and the Florida panther, the Everglades is one of the world’s great wetlands, but human hands have been heavy in draining and developing the region. Perhaps only 2 percent of the original ecosystem is completely intact. Up to 50 percent of the world’s wetlands have similarly disappeared.
