Protection of the Florida Panther

Defenders of Wildlife is working with state and local officials to achieve a healthy balance between humans and wildlife. They search to protect the panther's habitat by constructing highway underpasses; they also aim to maintain habitat connectivity in order for panthers to live in their wild, natural habitat. Defenders' struggle for the preservation of habitat for the Florida panther is enormous. Public education is crucial to prevent panthers being killed by drivers on the highways.
