These
environmental factors have been noticed by government officials who are now
determined to make the Everglades future better than the past. The Congress has
“approved a plan to restore the Everglades, as it is the most expensive and
comprehensive environmental repair attempt in history” (Everglades). If the
government and society of south Florida are able to work together to make
positive changes, the Everglades will see a brighter future. But if humans
continue to abuse and destroy the Everglades as they have in the past, the land
will continue to decline.

Future Prospects
Humans continue to benefit from the Everglades as
they get ocean front homes, farmland and even National Parks to observe
wildlife; yet they need to understand that the Everglades do not benefit from
human invasion in any way. The Everglades still face “severe threats from the
impact of surrounding urban sprawl, ecologically unsound water management,
agricultural development, invasion of exotic species and fire” from the result
of the human population, as “no more than 2% of the original everglades
ecosystem is truly intact” (Everglades).
