Celebrate Florida Panthers This Saturday in Naples


Once they roamed across eight southeastern states, but now Florida panthers only call southern Florida home.

And although many more once lived across the region, today only between 100-160 exist in the wild.
But increased public awareness and education campaigns could be the key to panther restoration in their historic home range.

This Saturday, Defenders is proud to be a part of the first annual Florida Panther Festival in Naples.
