Introducing Everglades National Park
While the Everglades have a history dating back to prehistoric times, the park wasn’t founded until 1947. It’s the only national park preserved not for its stunning beauty, but because someone had the foresight to recognize its ecological importance. It’s considered the most endangered national park in the USA, but the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan has been enacted to undo some of the damage done by draining and development.
