Description
Deep in southern Florida, the vast, subtropical wetlands of the Everglades beckon. Here spoonbills wade, manatees graze, and crocodiles lurk.

Dive into All About the Everglades, to uncover the wonders of its wildlife and ecosystems, and learn about its rich natural and human histories, modern-day challenges, and how you can help protect it.
