About
As of 2026, it's 79 years old.
Everglades National Park was dedicated in 1947 to protect an ecosystem: sawgrass marshes, mangroves, slow water, birds, alligators, and panthers.
It broadened the park idea again, showing that ecological systems could be as worthy of protection as peaks or canyons.
