| UNESCO declared the Everglades & Dry Tortugas Biosphere Reserve in 1976 and listed the park as a World Heritage Site in 1979, and the Ramsar Convention included the park on its list of Wetlands of International Importance in 1987. | WIKI |
| The Everglades are a network of wetlands and forests fed by a river flowing 0.25 miles (0.40xc2xa0km) per day out of Lake Okeechobee, southwest into Florida Bay. | WIKI |
| Plans arose in 1882 to drain the wetlands and develop the land for agricultural and residential use. | WIKI |
| Approximately 35,600 acres (55.6xc2xa0sqxc2xa0mi; 144.1xc2xa0km2) of man-made wetlands are to be constructed to confine contaminated water before it is released to the Everglades, and 240 miles (390xc2xa0km) of canals that divert water away from the Everglades are to be destroyed. | WIKI |
| Criterion (ix): The Everglades contains vast subtropical wetlands and coastal/marine ecosystems including freshwater marshes, tropical hardwood hammocks, pine rocklands, extensive mangrove forests, saltwater marshes, and seagrass ecosystems important to commercial and recreational fisheries. | UNESCO |
| Just to the north (upstream) of the park the wetlands are protected within Florida state-managed Water Conservation Areas (350,000 hectares). | UNESCO |
| In the northern wetlands of the park, reduced inflows have caused a loss of deep-water slough communities that are required to support healthy populations of fish and aquatic invertebrates, and wading bird populations are estimated at just 10% of pre-drainage levels. | UNESCO |
