Brazilian pepper or Florida holly (Schinus terebinthifolius) has also wreaked havoc on the Everglades exhibiting a tendency to spread rapidly and to crowd out native species of plants as well as to create inhospitable environments for native animals It is especially difficult to eradicate and is readily propagated by birds which eat its small red berries the Brazilian pepper problem is not exclusive to the Everglades; neither is the water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) which is a widespread problem in Florida's waterways a major threat to endemic species and is difficult and costly to eradicate the Old World climbing fern (Lygodium microphyllum) may be causing the most harm to restoration as it blankets areas thickly making it impossible for animals to pass through it also climbs up trees and creates "fire ladders" allowing parts of the trees to burn that would otherwise remain unharmed, (26.4) 73.8 See also: List of amusement parks in Greater Orlando List of shopping malls in the Miami metropolitan area and List of casinos in Florida. 34.8% Outside of the U.S. 10 Bank of America 2,000 Surf Coast/Fun Coast/Halifax Area Following this period of rapid development and environmental degradation the ecosystem began to receive notable attention from conservation groups in the 1970s Internationally UNESCO and the Ramsar Convention designated the Everglades a Wetland Area of Global Importance the construction of a large airport 6 miles (9.7 km) north of Everglades National Park was blocked when an environmental study found that it would severely damage the South Florida ecosystem With heightened awareness and appreciation of the region restoration began in the 1980s with the removal of a canal that had straightened the Kissimmee River However development and sustainability concerns have remained pertinent in the region the deterioration of the Everglades including poor water quality in Lake Okeechobee was linked to the diminishing quality of life in South Florida's urban areas in 2000 the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan was approved by Congress to combat these problems to date,[when?] it is the most expensive and comprehensive environmental restoration attempt in history but its implementation has faced political complications.
