Neither. Man will get land hungry and eventually take over the glades.

is that why the florida government just bought 73,000 acres of land from sugar and orange farmers in the everglades to restore it back to what it was with an option to purchase another 107,000 acres when florida's economy boosts back up.

you guys really need to stop putting your feet in your mouths over this. this is an area that most of you have no clue of what is actually going on. if you are going to make outlandish claims, at least try and research them!!!

even if they restore it it will never be what it was. "restoring" and "upkeeping" will be at the hand of man.

that farm land has become another man managed land...not natural.

there you go again talking about something you know nothing of!

restoration projects are extremly successful here in florida. i have personally seen many of these and they look and have the species composition of similar habitats from surrounding areas. there is no "upkeep" once they have been restored so i have no idea where you pulled that one out of....im pretty sure though!!
