Description

The Everglades National Park in Florida is a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its vast wetlands and rich biodiversity, including species like the American crocodile and Florida panther. This park is essential for water filtration and supply, and its ecosystems play a crucial role in carbon sequestration and flood control, aligning with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 13 (Climate Action), 14 (Life Below Water), and 15 (Life on Land). However, climate change poses significant threats through rising sea levels and increased hurricane activity, which disrupt the park’s natural balance. Efforts like the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan are underway to restore water flows and counteract environmental impacts, ensuring the park's resilience and sustainability.
