Bleak indeed. The article itself answers half your question:
population growth.

The other half of the answer is: corporate profit mode (especially
developers and builders). The decisions of government are made by (or
under the influence of) corporate standards of profit for
stockholders, no matter what the cost or who or what has to suffer
and die. It is part of the law that they MUST make profit, and be
allowed to by law. This is the core problem with globalization and
the American way of government, and not until it changes will the
destruction diminish.

This may be one person'sopinion, but for me it is the answer to your
question. Pretty bleak indeed.

For any interested, this article from our local paper, gives a bleak
outlook on Florida's wildlife's future.  I want to know why if we know
how bleak it will be, why we can't do something about it now?
