They are not fire maintained communities, although fire may burn into tropical hardwood hammocks under certain conditions. Tropical hardwood hammocks are habitat for a few endemic plants, and are critical habitat for many West Indian plant species when the northernmost portions of their ranges extend into South Florida. Tropical hardwood hammocks also provide important habitat for many species of wildlife, including nine federally listed species. While the majority of the remaining tropical hardwood hammocks outside the Florida Keys have now been acquired, hammocks are still significantly threatened by development in the Keys. Tropical hardwood hammocks have been heavily impacted by outright destruction, conversion to agriculture, exotic plant and animal species, collecting pressure on plants and animals, anthropogenic fires, and alterations in hydrology. Significant work has now been initiated to restore existing disturbed tropical hardwood hammocks and to control exotic plant species. Numerous opportunities also exist to create or maintain tropical hardwood hammocks within the developed landscape.

    $ $ $ MIAMI MILLIONS $ $ $ CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR THEY even rang the king of Greece in on the Florida boom in January, 1926, in an effort to inject some life into a situation that had been allowed to take a nap over the holidays and then refused to awaken. You may recall the Floranada club, north of Fort Lauderdale. The actual promoter of the elaborately conceived settlement was James H. R. Cromwell, son of Mrs. Edward T. Stotesbury of Palm Beach, and destined later to marry Doris Duke, the world's richest girl. The names that headed the list of active sponsors were those of Mrs. Stotesbury, known the world over for her social posi- tion; the Countess of Lauderdale, of England; Mrs. Horace E. Dodge, Samuel M. Vauclain, president of the Baldwin Locomotive Works; John S. Pillsbury, of flour fame; and the king of Greece. But those who poured their money and prestige into post- boom developments like Floranada were no less deluded than 93 per cent of those in Miami, at the heart of the movement. Here, plans were afoot for the dedication of the University of Miami, to which George E. Merrick had given 160 acres in Coral Gables and the promise of $5,000,000 for the endowment if a like sum were to be raised among the other regents and friends of the university. James Cash Penney, soon to be identified with the City Na- tional Bank In Miami, started off the pledges with $200,000. Vic- tor Hope, a Coral Gables financier, who shared honors with J.

But it was good fun while it lasted,”- Kenneth Ballinger, author of Miami Millions, 1936. Within the last 100 years, Miami has grown in so many aspects: socially, economically, architecturally, and culturally. There were two significant periods of change that have been a substantial part of the city‟s real estate and architectural growth throughout the last century and have shaped the character of what Miami is today. The 1920‟s was the start of the Miami we know today, with immense numbers of homes, apartments, businesses, public buildings and hotels being constructed. The boom began in 1921 and after five busy years it came to an abrupt end when the Hurricane of 1926 blew in and destroyed a huge part of what had just been built, only to be followed by the Great Depression of 1929. The development that occurred during this period was the headway for the city that Miami has become. When the New Millennium began, another stage of Miami‟s development started. Within a period of less than eight years, Miami‟s skyline was dramatically changed and many other projects in South Florida had begun.
