Everglades project under money pressure by Natalia Holvova

Everglades is the swampland area in Florida that includes unusual wildlife that inhabits this place. There are also species such as egrets, rare orchids, alligators and panthers living in Everglades. Also huge amount of water reservation is located in the area that is now threatened because of the luck of money for its restoration. The federal project that was approved by the U.S. government in 2000 to save and protect the area that is getting smaller and smaller because of building of dikes, dams, and homes booming in Florida had to face difficulties and unpredictable situations that cut down finances intended for the restoring the swamps polluted by urban runoff and farm fertilizers. The problem means ecological disaster! Of course seven years ago Americans didn't have economical problems and national budget debts that make priorities different. American war in Iraq gobble crazy amount of money from federal treasury. Hurricane Katrina caused huge damages in the city of New Orleans that need to be rebuilt so people have place to stay. There are so many more important things to fix than saving swamps right now. Are the Everglades going to wait until government find the solution for everything else and then proceed to restoration? Are threatened native animal species going to be able to survive without federal help? How the things that exist only few years got the anterior position than the land that has been a part of Florida's wildlife for hundreds of years? Hope! That can be a motto for Everglades. Hope can bring old fame back into the swamps also in the world of everyday unexpected situations.
