A Park in Danger

The fate of the Everglades still hangs in the balance. Previously, it was thought, islands of land could be preserved forever by simply drawing national park boundaries. Today, it is clear that this is untrue. National parks are not islands. They are greatly impacted by what happens outside their boundaries.

Everglades park is located between Ft. Lauderdale Fla. and Naples Fla. I guess you could call it a swamp. It is known for alligators and other types of wildlife. Some say the everglades are drying up because there are so many canals in Fla., causing the water to drain off. Many of the gators get into residential areas by way of these canals. People used to kill alligators legally. But now they have restrictions. You can only kill a gators during designated times. Usually when they're overpopulated.

Overbuilding in Florida has led to the overuse and draining of many of the natural water resources of that state. Also, farming in Florida and its use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers have killed many of the native species.
