Urge Moratorium on Everglades Development
Target: Florida Governor Charlie Crist
Sponsored by: Care2
Sponsored by: Care2
Recognizing the environmental importance of the Everglades, the state of Florida is planning to purchase 187,000 acres of land to restore its waterways and estuaries. While this is a huge achievement in the fight for Everglades restoration, the state must go one step further.
Developers continue to submit proposals that would encroach on the Everglades, destroying many of the benefits that restoration promises. The Everglades are the home of hundreds of unique species of plants and animals, including 67 threatened or endangered species. A mere 10 percent of the former wading birds that once inhabited the Everglades still exist today.
Urge Florida Governor Charlie Crist to institute a moratorium on approving new development, mining or other changes in use that could impact the upcoming restoration project!

The Everglades are an ecological wonder. Everything must be done to save these beautiful areas.

Continuing to develop the Everglades is to lose it forever. Once too much of it is destroyed, it will not be able to replenish itself. The Earth is different than it was when the Everglades were formed, so creating anew is impossible. Let's keep the Earth's treasures that we already have.
