Juanita, featured in Ken Burns film, The National Parks: Americas Best Idea, is a former Miami Herald reporter and longtime advocate for Biscayne and Everglades National Parks. Juanita's reporting for the Miami Herald was instrumental in the creation and protection of Biscayne National Park, which was threatened in the 1960s by a plan to dredge a channel through the bay and turn the area into the City of Islandia. She is also credited with decades of advocacy to remove as much sugar land as possible from the Everglades so that the historic "River of Grass" can be restored. Juanita currently serves as Vice President and Conservation Chair of the Friends of the Everglades, the organization created by Marjory Stoneman Douglas - a friend and colleague of Juanita.
