South Florida Ecosystem Restoration
South Florida Ecosystem Restoration aims to restore natural habitats, water flow, and wetland functions in the region, including the Everglades. Human activities like urban development and agriculture have altered these ecosystems, causing habitat loss, wetland drainage, and water quality issues. Restoration efforts focus on re-establishing natural water schedules, protecting rare species, and improving the quality of water entering sensitive areas. These projects help sustain wildlife, ensure clean water supplies, and provide flood protection, balancing environmental health with community needs. Overall, the goal is to restore South Florida's unique and vital ecological systems for future generations.
