Dynamic Diversity in the Everglades Annual Photo Contest

The National Park Service holds an annual photo contest to find the best image taken in the Everglades. Back in 1947, the United States government officially named the subtropical wetland area in Florida a national park, essentially protecting all of the area’s flora and fauna. These days, the Everglades is a popular tourism spot, an abundant nature watching area, and it even provides drinking waterer 1/3 of Florida’s residents.
