"According to Fox News", 99 percent of the native (animal) species in the Everglades have been wiped out by the invasion of snakes, mainly the Burmese python.

If true this means that when the final 1 percent is gone scientists can have the big party they have been waiting for, celebrating the 'return' of the Everglades to 'nature'. Of course when all other prey is gone the snakes will eat each other, resulting in fewer but much larger snakes; an eventuality that scientists are also looking forward to with great anticipation.
In my city scientists are 'saving' our lakes by allowing them to return to 'nature' as well. At the time of this posting you can 'walk across' one on the invasive weed growth. What science means by 'save' is to save the lakes from human enjoyment and return them to the natural process of transitioning back to grasslands and forests.
