Message from the researcher
There are no other Everglades in the world. They are, they have always been, one of the unique regions of the earth; remote, never wholly known. Nothing anywhere else is like them.

Everglades Wildlife WatchAbout Everglades Wildlife Watch
The Everglades Wildlife Watch is a project of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission aimed at documenting wildlife throughout the Greater Everglades ecosystem and South Florida. This project occurs on the public lands within the Wildlife Management Area system, of which there are approximately 1.6 million acres in South Florida alone. This is an extremely diverse region of ecosystems that ranges from vast landscapes of sawgrass marsh to pine flatwoods to isolated "keys" in Florida Bay. Wildlife researchers and land managers have deployed cameras throughout this diversity to gain insight into the interactions between Florida's wildlife and their environments.
