President Donald Trump’s former agriculture secretary wants the administration to support adding the Okefenokee Swamp’s vast wildlife refuge to a United Nations list of World Heritage site. The refuge was nominated at the tail end of the Biden administration, whose priorities Trump has worked to dismantle. That nomination is now supported by former Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue. He wrote a letter to the Interior Department saying the Okefenokee nomination has bipartisan support and promises economic benefits. The blackwater swamp is home to abundant alligators and is the largest national wildlife refuge east of the Mississippi River.
