Florida Conservancy Teams Remove Record 20 Tons of Invasive Burmese Pythons to Protect Everglades Ecosystems

An environmental conservancy team in Florida has removed a staggering 20 tons of invasive Burmese pythons as part of a major effort to protect native ecosystems in the Everglades. The snakes, which can grow over 18 feet long, have been devastating local wildlife populations for years. The multi-year campaign involved a combination of professional trappers, biologists, and volunteers, all working to track and humanely euthanize the massive reptiles.

The removal marks a significant milestone in the ongoing battle against invasive species in South Florida. Experts say that while the snake population is still vast, consistent removals are helping to stabilize sensitive habitats. Officials hope the operation raises awareness about the ecological threats posed by non-native species and the importance of continued conservation efforts.
