Everglades National Park is a U.S. National Park on the southern tip of Florida that consists of 1.5-million-acres of beautifully preserved wetlands made up of coastal mangroves, sawgrass marshes, and pine woods. The most significant tropical wilderness of its kind in the world, these wetlands are home to a wealth of animal and bird species, including 40 species of mammals, over 300 species of fresh and saltwater fish, and 350 species of birds.

The marshlands are also home to endangered species of animals such as the leatherback turtle, West Indian manatee, and the ever-elusive Florida panther.

Everglades National Park has been declared a World Heritage Site, an International Biosphere Reserve, and a Wetland of International Importance.
