Press Kit

Everglades National Park, established in 1947 to preserve the biological features of the subtropical Everglades of Florida, is the 3rd largest national park in the lower 48 states. It is also recognized as the most threatened, due primarily to hydrological developments that have disrupted water flow with serious ecological consequences.

The Park receives approximately a million visitors annually, depending on weather economic factors, and contributes $120 million annually to the local economy through tourism revenue. Approximately 25% of the Park's visitors are international travelers.

Between the restoration efforts underway or the huge number of visitors arriving to experience this most unique place, there is always something going on at Everglades National Park.
