#SpeciesSpotlight: Florida Panther Panthers once roamed throughout the Southeast, but today as few as 130 are left in the wild. The Florida #panther is now the only large feline remaining in the Southeast, and it's separated from western #puma populations by more than 1,000 miles. For the #Floridapanther to survive — much less recover — it needs federally protected critical #habitat, as well as reintroductions to additional habitats in #Florida and the Southeast. We first took legal action to protect panthers in 2021, and our fight goes on. We're still in court defending them from other violations of federal law.
