Although the Florida panther has been listed as endangered since 1967 fewer than 100 remain.
They once roamed freely from Arkansas,east to the Carolinas and south along the coastal states to the Florida Everglades.
Unfortunately a long history of shooting,mercury poisoning,loss of habitat and road crossing fatalities has pushed the panther to its last foothold in the wilderness of southern Florida.
Florida panthers are clinging to survival in only 5% of the territory they once roamed.
We the undersigned urge you to restore the Florida panthers habitat before these beautiful animals are gone forever.They are on the brink of extinction and need to be protected at all cost.We must NOT lose another animal due to our greed and ignorance.Thanks for taking the time to read this and helping these beautiful animals.
