There are only 80-100 Florida panthers left - the only big cat remaining in the eastern U.S.  They were voted Florida's state animal by Florida's schoolchildren, and now are being killed on the highways; designated habitat is what they need, and all they need, to be brought back to sustainable numbers.  They're a keystone or umbrella species of inestimable value to the environment; cougars in Western states were brought back from the brink of extinction, now we must do the same for the panthers; Secretary Salazar has the ability to designate protected habitat, and has done it in other cases, but he's very tough to get through to - please call and spread this easy click letter as far as you can.  Phone #:202-208-3100
