Answer:
For many years humans have systematically destroyed the ecosystems in the everglades
Step-by-step explanation:
The Florida Everglades are low lying wetlands that host numerous ecosystems and a number of species of animals, birds (reptiles) and fish. It is made up of mangroves, marshes and flatwoods. Over the year human intervention has caused destruction in the Everglades and three of the ways are listed below:
1. Irrigation for agricultural reasons: Most of the water that have sufficed irrigation for the state has been drained from the Everglades. This causes significant loss of habitat for aquatic animals and those organism that need this water source.
2. Introducing invasive species: The introduction of the Burmese python to the Everglades has caused an imbalance of the ecosystem since these do not have a natural predator and they have been reproducing without checks and balance. The pythons feed freely and multiply quickly and the population thrives at the expense of the native, some endangered species.
3. Urbanization: is the greatest loss of habitat that causes an un-reparable loss of species. More of the Everglades are being destroyed in order to construct human homes and roads.
In conclusion, the situation in the Florida Everglades needs to be addressed to preserve the species that are already there and to slow down and stop the continuous destruction of an ecosystem that could benefit an entire state by being a catch basin and reducing floods.
