Urban areas surrounding the Everglades pose a threat through habitat destruction, water pollution, and altered water flow due to development. Runoff from agriculture and urban landscapes can introduce nutrients and contaminants into the wetlands, disrupting the delicate ecosystem. Additionally, urban sprawl can lead to increased drainage and diversion of water that is critical for maintaining the Everglades' unique environment. These pressures can threaten biodiversity and the overall health of this vital ecosystem.
