To call the Okefenokee swamp a treasure is to undersell just how special this watery world is. Tucked into the rural southeast corner of Georgia, this 438,000-acre swamp is one of the most ecologically intact places in our nation. Its shallow black waters not only provide habitat to a menagerie of flora and fauna, but also contain a massive peat-filled carbon sink – on a planet desperately in need of one. But now a private company with a checkered past is preparing to mine for minerals on the swamp's edge. Will a growing group of Okefenokee advocates be able to stop the mine and preserve the swamp for generations to come?
