This video is about Saving the Everglades: How Far Would You travel to save the Everglades? Everglades Conservation and Clean up April 11th, 2015 The Florida Everglades is a unique environment that runs from the middle of the state down to the southwest coast of Florida. Marjorie Stoneman Douglas called it the "River of Grass." The Everglades contains many ecosystems that are interdependent. For more than a hundred years, humans have been disturbing this natural wonder by developing portions of the Everglades. Marjorie Stoneman Douglas was an important advocate to preserve this natural and unique ecosystem. In the Everglades National Park, humans continue to destroy the balance of the Everglades by leaving trash and using certain areas as dumping ground. The affects of this can be seen in the wildlife. A small group of local people who share the love for the Everglades has begun a movement to clean up the area they love so well. The Everglades Clean-up project was founded by Chris Nicolaus and he is determined to preserve the Everglades for future generations to enjoy. You can go to his Facebook page to find out more about the work they are doing and when they will go out for their next clean up.
