The Everglades Foundation: Dedicated To Restoring And Protecting America's Everglades
The Everglades Foundation works to restore and protect America’s Everglades through science, advocacy, and education. The Everglades provides drinking water to 9 million Floridians, habitat to nearly 2,000 species of plants and animals – more than 70 of which are federally threatened or endangered – and encompasses four National Parks, including Everglades National Park.
At the heart of Everglades restoration is the water that connects our habitats, our communities, and our economy in Florida. The Everglades Foundation works tirelessly to secure the state and federal funding needed to modernize South Florida’s woefully outdated water infrastructure, restore the flow of desperately needed clean water south to the Everglades and Florida Bay, and reduce harmful discharges of toxic algae and other pollutants to coastal estuaries.
