Path of the Panther

This photography exhibit documents the Florida panther’s precarious existence in the state’s vanishing wild spaces. During the 1980s there were fewer than 20 of these majestic creatures, but now there are more than 200 in the Everglades.

All the photos are courtesy of the National Geographic’s Carlton Ward Jr., who has spent almost two decades advocating for the Florida Wildlife Corridor, the home to the panthers.
