| Florida panther recovery plan implementation - A 1983 Progress Report | |
| 1982 Conference Proceeding | |
The Florida Panther Recovery Team was appointed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in July 1976 to prepare and assist in coordinating the implementation of a recovery plan for the Florida panther. The step-down outline for the plan was completed in October 1976. The goal of the plan is to prevent the extinction and re-establish viable populations of Florida panthers in as much of the former range as is feasible. Three objectives are identified to attain this goal: to find and maintain any existing populations of Florida panthers, to improve public opinion and behavior regarding the existence of Florida panthers, and to re-establish populations where feasible. In the past 7 years, progress has been made toward the accomplishment of these objectives. Activities include the operation of a Florida Panther Record Clearinghouse, investigating sighting reports, field searches for panther sign, radio-telemetry studies to determine movements and habitat preferences, food habits studies, taxonomic studies, public education programs, and evaluation of present regulations and land management polices. |
