Protecting Endangered Species
Similarly, the Everglades State
Park protects many rare and endangered species that live in the
1.5 million acre site.
There are many centers dedicated
to saving animals such as turtles and birds which have been harmed
by man's actions and there are refuges for birds, deer and other
animals.
Laws are also in place to protect
sharks and other species which are in danger of being fished
to extinction.
In planning for the future, Florida
faces issues to do with land use, water supply and energy use,
but visitors to the state can also do a lot to keep its environment
in good condition.
Helping The Environment When
You Travel
Learning about the flora and
fauna that form part of Florida's natural environment is the
first step in appreciating the beauty and diversity of this natural
world. This is an easy step to take as many of the attractions
provide guided tours with guides who really know their subject
inside out.
Even if you are not taking a
guided tour, don't be tempted to stray off the path. The trails
are there because they will allow you to appreciate the natural
beauty while causing the least possible damage to the environment.
Leave the trail, and you never know when you might trample on
a rare plant or affect the environment of a species that is under
threat.
