Description:Everglades National Park is on the edge in so many senses. The park is at thevery edge of the North American continent. The park is on the edge of two majormetropolitan areas: Miami/Dade County on the east and Naples and surroundingcommunities on the west. Commercial and residential development affects the park in many ways. More than anything, the Everglades is on the edge because it is perennially threatened, The water it formerly received as surface flow now come to it only when the demands of agriculture and urban users have been satisfied. The fate of what remains of the Everglades ecosystem is uncertain and will require close cooperation with a host of land and water managers outside park boundaries. In a broader sense, Everglades National Park hovers near the edge of the conventional definition of a wilderness. It is a wilderness cloven in two by a motor road and visited by tens of thousands of motorboats annually. Nonetheless, the visitor who ventures off the road soon finds herself in a veritable wilderness—a strange and wonderful natural world like no other in the United States.This history assembles in one document, information about the park and its surroundings from many sources, mostly archival.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
