Less than two months ago, four #Florida panthers were killed by vehicle collisions. There may be a few as only 120 individuals of this population left, making each one of these deaths a tragedy for the species.
Urban sprawl has forced these cats to eke out a living in less than 5% of their historic range. In fact, large urban and agricultural developments and their infrastructure can be major barriers to all kinds of wildlife.
We're working to secure more safe #wildlifecrossings and connectivity for #Floridapanthers and other species. Watch Florida panthers, alligators, bears, bobcats, deer and coyotes cruise through wildlife crossings beneath highways as unknowing humans commute above them at 70mph.
