| The Everglades is made up of 1,506,539 acres. There are 2,500 square acres of pure Wilderness the Faxahatchee Strand Preserve State Park, Panther Sanctuary, Corkscrew Sanctuary and Big Cypress National Preserve and the Everglades National Park are either in very close proximately or joined. Florida is very populated but there are still lands that are protected, many thousands of acres across the whole state. On the next page I will mention more state parks showing the many thousands of acres that are protected scattered across the state with just a few miles between some.
