About Save the Florida Panther Day
United States
Ends: Mar 15, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
In 2015, Florida Republican Governor Rick Scott created Save the Florida Panther Day, allocating $150 million toward land acquisition and management to focus on protecting land for the Florida panther. The historic funding and focus on Florida's ecosystem ensure and protects the Florida panther and its domain. The Florida panther once roamed throughout the southeastern United States, and today, it can only be found in the forests and Everglades.
In 1967, ten panthers remained in the wild, and eight breeding females were brought in from Texas. Today that number is closer to 200. On Jul 24, 2021, the state passed the Wildlife Corridor Act, facilitating the movement of the big cats within their territories, proving that despite the rhetoric, Florida does care about its environment.
Though Florida has lost its way of late, in years and decades past, the state was a critical and outspoken advocate for conservation and the environment, including championing its own Arbor Day and protecting the Everglades and endangered species while raising awareness about wetlands and the necessity of biodiversity. In fact, until the 1990s, conservative Americans strongly valued environmental causes, including Republican presidents Teddy Roosevelt and Richard Nixon. The antipathy on current display is a new phenomenon, which makes Save the Florida Panther Day, the state animal, unique.
