    When examining the views of Napoleon Bonaparte Broward, Marjory Stoneman Douglas, and The Sun newspaper it is possible to distinguish between conservation, social reform, and environmental reform.

Napoleon Bonaparte Broward represented those who believed that drainage of the Everglades improved it, and that the state…

    Later on, in 1948, the US Congress decided to create one of the most effective water systems because of the population growth and the need for flood control. It might have been one of the most effective systems and worked great for the people, but it did not work so great for the Everglades and the animals in it. This system that the Congress had made took 1.7 billion gallons of water each day from the Everglades and it took it out to the ocean. Since the US decided to do this, the natural habitats changed.
