Corkscrew Sanctuary (Week #3)

Driving to the Corkscrew Sanctuary gives you that feeling of being in the wild.  You are away from all civilization alike.  Entering into the park, and into the visitor center, you will notice the boards displaying all the history behind the park.  The boards displayed in the visitor's center, caught my eye the most.  They were nicely lit up and were maps of Florida, showcasing the amount of land Florida used to have and how over the years the land has been eroded.  They took action in preserving the watershed to ensure a healthy ecosystem of the people and wildlife of SW Florida, specifically the egret and other birds.

Corkscrew Sanctuary is split between the wetlands and drylands.  At one point you are walking down the boardwalk and on the left, you have the drylands and on the right you have the wetlands.  Wetlands are natural filters acting as the living machine.  All the plants and such are used to filter the waters.  The motivation to preserve this particular acreage, originally was to save egrets and other species of birds back in 1912.  The government's role is to regulate these environmental standards so that more parks like the Corkscrew Sanctuary will exist. If government doesnt regulate, then who will?  As much as you dislike the government, they would be the only ones who could regulate.  If you were to say big businesses then that would be a mistake (as kindly put).  Sustainablility and capitalism are opposing ideas.
