Protect Habit for the Less than 100 Florida Panthers Left

Hi Green,

There are less than a 100 Florida panthers left, making it one of America's most endangered species.

Save the Florida panther. »

Although the Florida panther was originally declared an endangered species by the federal government in 1967, the amendment to the Endangered Species Act which required each species so listed to also have "designated critical habitat" did not go into effect until 1978.

As a result, no critical habitat exists for America's only big cat east of the Mississippi.

The Interior Department has the ability under the Endangered Species Act to protect the remaining habitat now. Urge Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to designate critical habitat for the Florida panther today. »

Thanks for taking action!
