As you know, both causes of death are strongly linked to loss of habitat due toLisa Ostbergnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7728967691109559384.post-19402781097160398892009-03-24T08:35:00.000-04:002009-03-24T08:35:00.000-04:00Thanks and welcome!

Your blog is very well done and something truly needs to be done to save the habitat here in Florida, before the developers get it all. Soon we will only be able to see animals in cages and there will no longer be any "Wildlife." Having spent time with you in the Everglades, I know that you truly live what you preach Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7728967691109559384.post-28663545330391869172009-01-31T12:37:00.000-05:002009-01-31T12:37:00.000-05:00Good luck, I think to visit it in two weeks.Good luck, I think to visit it in two weeks.Juan C.

They do outreach education to community and school groups. They help support research projects and they are on the frontline for educating the general public. <BR/><BR/>They've done a very good job of keeping the local community involved in protecting the cats but this is more than a local issue.

In true American spirit I worry no one will do anything until it is nearly too late and then we'll have Panther Aid and all the big stars will come out to support the panthers and then they'll be forgotton about again, just like Farm-Aid and that whole "We are the world" thing people do to make themselves Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7728967691109559384.post-62635837538918615262009-01-30T23:31:00.000-05:002009-01-30T23:31:00.000-05:00Like Ghandi always said - run people over - not an...Like Ghandi always said - run people over - not animals.
