Description
The Atchafalaya River Basin makes up more than a million acres of swampland in southern Louisiana and is home to hundreds of plant and animal species. This delicate ecosystem is at risk from logging and changes to the river flow by structures along the Mississippi River. Organizations like Atchafalaya Basinkeeper are working to raise awareness of these issues and fight back against those who are trying to develop the wetlands.
