The Everglades of Southern Florida Continues to Be an Environmental Oasis

Everglades covers the east limestone wall and extends north to fill the lake of Okichobee that covers about 4,000 miles of the South Peninsula of Florida. This area is mainly composed of wetlands and mud, with various environments and rich biodiversity inhabited. But the real miracle of Everglades is that age. Only 5000 years ago the situation in this area was very different, timid and dry. The unpredictable climate and geological change creates this oasis that disappears quickly.

Everglades is located in the southern part of Florida, and its waters are found throughout the lowlands, so it is also known as "Grass River". The history of the Everglades, Florida dates back centuries ago, indeed thousands of years ago, Everglades lived in more than 5 million acres of land extending from Ochochobee Lake to Florida Bay. . Everglades is a subtropical wetland with important biodiversity because various uses of wetland ecosystems provide wildlife, plants, microorganisms and other animal habitats. The scale of Everglades has shrunk in the early 20th century to allow pioneers to build houses and harvest crops, but many things have been done to protect other wetlands.

To the south, the freshwater swamp forms Everglades, a huge wetland in southern Florida. The water from Lake Okeechobee slowly flows through the Everglades on its way to the sea. Sawgrass, Cypress, Mangrove grow along that path. There are rare orchid flowers in cloudy and slowly moving water. Everglades is known for its wildlife diversity. This wetland contains hundreds of migratory birds, each of which is suitable for rodents such as insects, fish, crickets, shrimp and even rats. Crocodiles make nests in dense saw tooth grass and swim in mud. Florida deer and endangered panthers live in dry wetlands, but manatees and even dolphins are swimming in so-called "grass rivers".
