The panther is the state animal of Florida, the last big cat
surviving east of the Mississippi River, and an emblem of the
Endangered Species Act. It was driven to extinction in the eastern
United States, except for a small remnant population that persisted
in Florida’s Everglades. Panther numbers had dwindled to fewer
than 20 individuals by the 1980s, but heroic conservation efforts
have helped panthers come back to nearly 200 today. The biggest
obstacle for the panther’s continued recovery is access to enough
of its historic territory throughout Florida and beyond. The tale
of the Florida panther has grown from the unlikely survival of a
rare cat to a story of hope for all of wild Florida. Path of the
Panther in now a call to action to recognize and protect the
Florida Wildlife Corridor – a network of public and private land
that connects the panther’s current range in south Florida to
suitable habitat throughout the state of Florida and adjoining
states. The Florida Wildlife Corridor is the panther’s path to
recovery and a western-scale conservation opportunity that remains
largely hidden in the east. It is now as a Last Wild Places
partnership with the National Geographic Society. With 27 percent
of Florida already protected as public land, this project aims to
inspire the additional one million acres of conservation needed
over the next decade so that Florida can be a leader in the goal of
protecting 30 percent of the plane by 2030.
