Everglades Facts, Everglades Pictures, Everglades Animals, Everglades History and Everglades Projects -- All Just a Mouse Click Away
When does a greater understanding of the threatened wetland ecosystem that we know as America's Everglades lead to unified efforts to restore and protect it for future generations?
How do the fragile habitats within the Everglades ecosystem bounce back after suffering debilitating damage associated with rapid human population growth, drainage and pollution?
As website visitors navigate this site, we hope that the Everglades Foundation not only provides audiences with up-to-date information on the latest news associated with the restoration of The Swamp, but also facts about other Everglades ecosystem areas including Everglades National Park, Florida Bay and the Big Cypress National Preserve.
9 Essential Steps
To Saving the Everglades
From stunning Everglades photography to fun-filled Everglades quizzes and a media resource center to Everglades scientific research studies and Everglades travel tips, this site has something for everyone. We encourage you to visit frequently and post comments or send us suggestions on what we can do to improve.
Everglades visitors will also have the opportunity to learn about the vast variety of flora and fauna including alligators, crocodiles, snakes, storks, anhingas, herons, deer and myriad tour and travel options available to them such as airboat rides, fishing tours, kayaking, canoeing, camping and other outdoor activities.
Science-based solutions, political will and collaboration of three options that the Everglades Foundation believes will dominate all efforts to restore and protect Florida's greater Everglades ecosystem.
