The Florida Everglades is one of the most unique wetlands in the world, but it is facing a serious threat from an invasive snake: the Burmese python. These large snakes are not native to Florida. They became established in South Florida after some escaped or were released from captivity. Once they entered the warm, swampy environment of the Everglades, they began to spread.
Armed conflict can harm wildlife in ways that are easy to miss at first. In Iran, one of the clearest environmental threats tied to the 2026 conflict is an oil slick moving toward the Hara Biosphere Reserve near the Strait of Hormuz.
