It is somewhat of a miracle that Caddo Lake remains as the amazing natural refuge that it is. This is actually the world's largest bald cypress swamp which attracts scientists and researchers from many places across the globe. There are other spots in surrounding areas that have similar environment but not nearly as large.
Cypress trees have been harvested in huge numbers over the years to support the oil industry and other construction. In some areas where this happened, the cypress have been totally destroyed and will likely never return. It is a shame that greed and neglect have wasted such natural treasure. I hope that we have learned our lessosns but I'm not sure that is true.
