Saving the Florida Panthers


Saving the Florida Panthers
The Issue
Florida Panthers are becoming endangered due to human activities. Construction is a major issue, because this leads to habitat loss, and roads make it difficult for panthers to cross.
Although this is one species, it can make a HUGE impact on its ecosystem if it goes extinct. If the Florida Panther dies out, other mammals will grow in number because the Florida Panther is a top predator. After the mammals grow in number, they will eat other mammals, decreasing their numbers. After this happens, all the mammals will die over time, making their ecosystem very unbalanced and have high risk of failing.
If we don't do anything soon, they will surely die out, as there are only 120-130 Florida Panthers left. And these numbers are falling FAST due to vehicle collisions, side effects of inbreeding, and high level of mercury in their prey.
So how can we solve this problem? Well, you can sign this petition to support the cause to save Florida Panthers. The Florida Government can make a law protecting Florida Panthers and build new habitats for them as well as make travelling across roads for them easier. So, what are you waiting for? Sign this petition and LET'S GO SAVE THE FLORIDA PANTHERS EVERYONE!
