Everglades National Park was severely damaged by Hurricane Andrew in 1992. To combat decades of artificial drainage and habitat degradation, Congress authorized the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) in 2000. The plan called for a joint partnership between the federal government and the state of Florida to fund about 50 restoration projects. The introduction of the invasive Burmese python into the park has decimated some small mammal populations.
