The Florida Everglades are an example of a unique wetland ecosystem, specifically a freshwater sawgrass marsh. It is the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States and is home to a variety of plant and animal species, many of which are found nowhere else on Earth. The Everglades also serve as an important habitat for numerous endangered species and are a crucial water source for South Florida. Additionally, the Everglades are a prime example of the interconnected nature of ecosystems, as changes in one part of the ecosystem can have far-reaching impacts on the entire region.
