Part 8: The Everglades: A Fight for Glory

Home to a dazzling array of animals found nowhere else on the planet, the iconic wetlands of South Florida are prized as one of the world’s most important and unique natural treasures. The Everglades was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979 but in 2010 was named as the only US site on the official danger list because of the impact of earlier draining and development. Now the race is on to preserve these wetlands – and the endangered species who live there - while there is still time. Bill takes The Wonder List to the Everglades to skim the waters, dive the swamps, and meet the extraordinary men and women fighting to restore American glory.
