独特的生态系统(A unique ecosystem)
你能想象在一条看起来无限的河流中看到你的倒影吗?沼泽地就是这样,这是一个位于佛罗里达州(美国)的独特国家公园,拥有该国最大的热带沙漠,面积超过6100平方公里的荒野。这个特殊的地方保护着湿地原始生态系统的20%,是佛罗里达豹、美洲鳄鱼和加勒比海牛等濒危物种的家园。被称为“草河”,其水系从奥基乔比湖缓慢流向佛罗里达湾,为热带鸟类创造了理想的栖息地。

Can you imagine seeing your reflection in a river that seems infinite? Such are the Everglades, a unique national park located in Florida (United States), which houses the largest tropical desert in the country, with more than 6,100 km² of wildlife. This exceptional place protects 20% of the original Everglades ecosystem and is home to endangered species such as the Florida panther, American crocodile and Caribbean manatee. Known as the “grass river,” its water system flows slowly from Lake Okeechobee to Florida Bay, creating ideal habitats for tropical birds.
