Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Massive water distribution and land development north of the Everglades, particularly for agricultural purposes, caused a disruption in the natural flow of water into the Everglades, altering the composition and balance of the ecosystem. This, in turn, has led to a decline in native species and an increase in invasive species. The Everglades National Park alone was not enough to combat the effects of external human activity on the system.
