Some truly great news from the U.S! The state of Florida has done a deal with US Sugar Corp that owns 800sq km (300sq miles) of land in the Everglades. The company will sell the land for $1.75bn to the authorities and then the land will be turned back into wetland.
US Sugar Corp used the land to grow sugar cane and it will end the the growing in six years.
The sugar cane industry has been blamed for destroying the unique environment in Everglades so this turn of events will probably help the ecosystem a great deal.
Lets hope other states and governments will do the same thing in the future.
