Скачать или смотреть Our POV: Alligator Alcatraz explained in 60 seconds

Friends of the Everglades has been fighting to protect a piece of land nestled in the heart of the Everglades since 1969. First, a massive jetport threatened the livelihood of the plants and animals that call this place home. Marjory Stoneman Douglas, along with the first Friends of the Everglades and other allies, put a stop to that threat. The fight played a significant role in creation of a new law — the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) — in 1970. Now, an immigration detention center ominously dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” revives the threat, and our fight to keep these wetlands safe.

We’ve filed a lawsuit to force the government to comply with NEPA. Help us fund the fight at everglades.org/everglades-defense-fund.
