Department of the Interior Secretary Ken Salazar is working to get Florida’s Everglades put back on a United Nations list of endangered sites. It would reverse the controversial move of the Bush administration, which sought to have it removed. Hopefully Obama remembers Salazar’s hard work on Secretary’s Day. Re-adding the Everglades would mean that the U.S. would have two sites if Glacier National Park is also added. Too bad adding it to the list doesn’t actually fix anything. A billion-dollar Everglades restoration project launched back in 2000 has already fallen years behind.
