[Answer] 1. What UNESCO recognized Florida wetlands area is in danger from pollution, agricultural and water diversion?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "1. What UNESCO recognized Florida wetlands area is in danger from pollution, agricultural and water diversion?"

...1. Everglades 2. Lake Okeechobee 3. Muscle Shoals 4. Pantanal The Everglades is a two million acre wetland ecosystem that reaches from central Florida (Orlando) to Florida Bay in the south. Lake Okeechobee, which is Florida's largest lake, overflows when it rains allowing the water to move in a slow and shallow river dominated by sawgrass marsh (often called the "river of grass"). The water flows southward creating and sustaining cypress swamps and mangroves, until it reaches Everglades National Park and eventually Florida Bay. The Everglades protects hundreds of species of land and water animals, including over 14 threatened species, and 25 mammals, over 400 bird species, sixty known species of reptiles, amphibians and insects, including two threatened swallowtail butterfly species. Over twenty species of snake have been recorded, including the threatened indigo snake. More than 275 species of fish are known to spawn in the Everglades. Florida's sustained population growth has caused considerable alteration to the Everglades. The water and drainage needs (including flood control canals that vivisect the wetlands) for the people of Tampa, Orlando and Miami interferes with the delicate balance of the watershed and shrinks the water table that sustains the Everglades wetlands. Combined with increased agricultural development, the Everglades are systematically shrinking. In addition, run off from homes and farms are increasing the heavy metal and salt content of the wetlands further impacting the plants and animals contained in the Everglades. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) placed the Everglades on the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger, because of the serious and ongoing degradation of its aquatic ecosystem. There is a small glimmer of hope. Florida and US federal environmental officials are working to ameliorate the effects of growth and only time will tell if their efforts can reduce the damage already done. The Pantanal is the world's largest wetland system and is located in South America. Muscle Shoals is a city on the banks of the Tennessee River in northern Alabama.
