Ecosense for Living

Okefenokee Destiny/Everglades

Tucked away in southeast Georgia on the Florida border, the Okefenokee is the largest intact Blackwater wetland in north America. Its unique ecology makes it a candidate for a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its unspoiled wildlife-rich habitat makes it an ideal research destination. And its mineral-filled geology makes it attractive to the mining industry. The Everglades could teach us about the wisdom of preservation over the pain of restoration.
