As the first national park founded to protect wildlife and ecological richness, the Everglades teems with life above and below water. This land of diversity boasts nine unique ecosystems, each shaped by the wet and dry seasons' ebb and flow. Roseate spoonbills, black bears, alligators, bottlenose dolphins and panthers all thrive in the largest subtropical wilderness in North America.

Along Washington State's rugged coast, Olympic National Park protects 1 million acres of diverse habitat. Coastal fog hits glacier-capped mountains, drenching the land in record rainfall and giving rise to temperate rainforests. This unique landscape hosts a rich biodiversity, including the endemic Olympic Marmot, Roosevelt elk, bobcats and one of the last Pacific salmon runs in the lower 48.
