Most national parks preserve unique geographic features; Everglades National Park was the first created to protect a fragile ecosystem. The Everglades are a network of wetlands and forests fed by a river flowing 0.25 miles (0.40 km) per day out of Lake Okeechobee, southwest into Florida Bay.[7] The park is the most significant breeding ground for tropical wading birds in North America and contains the largest mangrove ecosystem in the Western Hemisphere.Thirty -six threatened or protected species inhabit the park, including the Florida panther, the American crocodile, and the West Indian manatee, along with 350 species of birds, 300 species of fresh and saltwater fish, 40 species of mammals, and 50 species of reptiles.[9] The majority of South Florida's fresh wat e r, which is stored in the Biscayne Aquifer, is recharged in the park.

T he region was first settled in 1000 BC. Before the arrival of Spanish explorers in the early 16th century, the area that eventually became the Everglades National Park was mostly inhabited by the Calusa tribe. By the 1700s, most of the Calusa population had died from diseases brought by settlers, leaving behind many traces of their society, including shell tools, carved wood, and canoe trails. (3) The Everglades survived the survival efforts of the first colonizers in the 1800s and the development of coastal areas in the 1900s before attracting the attention of conservationists such as the Florida Federation of Women's Clubs and the Civilian Conservation Corps.
