Human impacts and how to stop it

The way to restore the the ecosystem from our impacts is redirect the water from flowing to the gulf and ocean to areas that need it for environmental restoration.

Now non-native species have started to take over the Everglade due to the changes we made and they are starting to kill off animals that are native to the area.

Water diversions and flood control projects have cut water flows and connections between the wetlands and throughout the Everglade.
