"Jim Miller, a Tallahassee videographer... to film... for a DVD project.
He speaks with passion about his childhood tours of the Everglades, where he would often spot a dozen varieties of orchids in a day's journey. Now, during a recent three-day venture into the Everglades, he found 20 plants total. One day, he found none at all. A multibillion-dollar project to restore the fast-shrinking Everglades and preserve the remarkable variety of plants and wildlife that inhabit it, including... orchids, has come to a near standstill as federal funds lag and officials re-evaluate how to move forward. ... he talks about the swampland that's been cleared for subdivisions and big box stores. "I don't understand," he says."
