Why is it so complicated to save the Everglades? The Everglades is home to the largest mangrove ecosystem in the western hemisphere and a sanctuary for over three dozen endangered and threatened species. It also provides fresh water, flood control, and a buffer against hurricanes and rising seas for about 9 million Floridians. But climate change, pollution, agriculture and rapid development are causing potentially irreversible damage. In 2000, the state of Florida and the federal government struck an extraordinary deal to save the Everglades. The Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan was the largest ecosystem restoration project in the world. But from the moment it was signed into law, things got complicated. Now almost 25 years later, the Everglades is as endangered as ever, and the problems have become even more difficult—and expensive—to solve. Today on The Sunday Story, Ayesha Rascoe talks with WLRN's Jenny Staletovich. Jenny has a new podcast series out called Bright Lit Place that tells the dramatic story of the Everglades, what's been done to the ecosystem, and what needs to happen to save it.
