Everglades National Park is a remarkable natural treasure located in Florida, USA, safeguarding the southernmost portion of the original Everglades. This park is not only the largest tropical wilderness in the country but also holds the distinction of being the most extensive wilderness area east of the Mississippi River. It's a sanctuary for numerous endangered species such as the manatee, American crocodile, and the elusive Florida panther, and plays a crucial role in the ecology and hydrology of the region. The Everglades are essential for recharging the Biscayne Aquifer, which is the primary source of fresh water for South Florida.
