http://www.pbs.org/nationalparks: For journalist Juanita Greene, Everglades National Park is a magical place. She believes that a national park is a place where people have an opportunity to be a part of nature. In Ken Burns's newest film, THE NATIONAL PARKS: AMERICAS BEST IDEA, premiering Sunday-Friday, September 27-October 2, 2009, she describes floating around in a little boat on the tranquil waters and watching the birds as the closest thing to heaven on earth. For more information on the film, visit http://www.pbs.org/nationalparks.

@Telexkrash I agree. The government answer to the people, therefor they are (at least somewhat) enviormentally responsible, whereas the private companies only answer to profit.

as an American living in China and seeing what happens to unprotected natural resources when development strikes... it makes me very proud/happy that we have our national parks and can't wait to visit some when I'm home on vacation :) I hope that more of this special gets put online!

Thank you for flashing the beautiful Glades, Sea of Grass. Home to the Miccosukee tribe.
I love to be there, it's a big wonderful soup of everything. Tranquillity.

Not to be too political, but I fundamentally disagree with the notion that EVERYTHING the government touches, or gets involved with is ruined. I cite the creation of National Parks System as case in point. Without this socialized and government-run program, our most cherished landscapes would be destroyed and cheapened by private development.

Such an experience can be quite humbling. As she says, we're a part of it. JUST a part of it. And we're on their turf. Humans are not "in charge" in the 'Glades. It can be a magnificent experience.
