The Swamp in which he tells the story of the Florida Everglades.
Initially, most people considered the land useless and tried to drain it for cities and farms, only to cause considerable damage to nature. They had done this by building levees and canals and then turning the land into sugar farms and suburbs.
When they realized that they had interfered with water flow and harmed wildlife, they tried to fix the damage as they embarked on a huge restoration project.
