The Everglades' Sugar Fix
This week, the governor of Florida, Charlie Crist, announced plans to buy more than 800sq km (300sq miles) of land used for growing sugarcane, and restore it to its natural state.
The state of Florida will pay the firm US Sugar $1.7bn for the land, which will be turned into marshes and waterways.
The aim is to restore the fabled "river of grass", a 160-kilometre (99-mile) long, shallow river flowing unimpeded from Lake Okeechobee to Florida Bay. BBC Full Article
