Florida Everglades

The Florida Everglades is a vast, unique wetland ecosystem located in southern Florida. It spans about 1.5 million acres and is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including alligators, panthers, and various bird species. The Everglades is often referred to as a “river of grass” because of its slow-moving water flowing through sawgrass marshes. It plays a crucial role in water filtration and flood regulation for the region, making it vital for both the environment and local communities. Additionally, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and attracts many visitors each year for its natural beauty.
