Southern Florida is covered by 734 square miles of sub-tropical wetlands known as the Everglades. In this program we explore the history and ecology of this delicately balanced ecosystem as environmentalists walk us through some of the new projects that will improve the health of this unique ecological community. The push is on for environmental clean-up, reduction of invasive species, and increased educational programs. The abuse that the Everglades sustained is now being corrected.
