Since the turn of the twentieth
century, the American conflict between economic
development and environmental conservation
has been epitomized by the struggles between
those who seek to develop and those who
seek to protect the Everglades. In recent
years the region has embraced the daunting
challenge of protecting nearly 70 endangered
or threatened species and restoring an ecosystem
which has been profoundly altered, while
still trying to meet growing human needs
for space and natural resources. This environmental
conflict centers around the successful implementation
of an unprecedented, 38-year, $7.8 billion
federal-state Comprehensive Everglades Restoration
Plan (CERP). Author Dr. Barbara K. Pryor
demonstrates that most of the ecological
benefits for the Everglades promised in
the historic CERP are riddled with
conflict over many uncertainties
and decades of delays which must
still be resolved in order to restore
this fragile River of Grass to the highest
possible level.
