Intensive efforts to protect Florida panther (Felis concolor coryi) habitat on private lands are essential for this endangered animal to survive. About half of the presently known occupied panther range in south Florida occurs on private lank where agricultural and urban development are increasing rapidly. Panther conservation strategies must go beyond traditional land acquisition by government and include economic programs to preserve critical landscapes on private lank.
