Across millions of years, sea levels dropped, the land below surfaced, and the area transformed into a thriving environment for unique plants and animals like mangrove forests and the Florida panther. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy the mid-1800s, most of the Indigenous people living in the Everglades had been killed or forced off the land. By 1900, Florida had become the nation's twenty-seventh state and had begun draining the Everglades to create land for farms and cities. With the loss of so much of the wetlands, native plants and animals began to die off. Although the Everglades is protected today, it still faces several challenges, including pollution and rising sea levels. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Everglades, often called the \"River of Grass,\" is truly a natural treasure, and its history teaches us about the importance of taking care of our environment.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNico Medina (he\/him)\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of more than fifteen books in the Who HQ series, including \u003ci\u003eWhere Is the Great Barrier Reef?\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWhat Were the Shark Attacks of 1916?\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eWhere Is the Serengeti?\u003c\/i\u003e He grew up in central Florida, near the ancient headwaters of the Everglades ecosystem, and he enjoys a good airboat ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 112\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 7.5 x 5.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 03, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43153324113983,"sku":"9780593754962","price":9.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/oh7a6BwFNy9780593754962.webp?v=1776946281","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/where-are-the-everglades-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
