This program examines the harm done to the Everglades by decades of exploitation and contamination. The impact of the sugar and orange industries, of flood control efforts, of Florida’s burgeoning population, and even of competing conservation initiatives are considered. The points of view of environmentalists, industry, Native Americans, and academics are represented by John Ogden, of the Everglades Restoration Program; Malcolm Wade, of the U.S. Sugar Corporation; Buffalo Tiger, an elder of the Miccosukee tribe, which used to live in Water Conservation Area 3A; and biology professors from Columbia and Florida International Universities.
