Affects

There are many impacts that affect the well being of the Everglades. For example, the Hurricane Andrew passed right through where the Everglades are causing quite a bit of damage. Also one of the biggest problems in the world is affecting the Everglades, Global Warming. This problem is causing a forcasted drought this year (2008) for the Everglades which is not good for the wildlife.
