1. THE THEME OF SCAT
Environmentalism

2. Southern Florida
• Southern Florida’s development is destroying
the panther’s remaining habitat.

3. Territory facts
• Males need 200 square miles for a home
range.
• Females need at least 75
• The number of panthers killed on the highway
is increasing. 200 were killed in 2007.

4. Deaths
• Because male panthers are not finding enough
home range, they meet other males more
often and fight until one is killed.

5. Endangered
• Only 90 to 100 Florida panthers remain today.
• They are at extremely high risk of extinction.

6. Controversy
• 23 died this year.
• 3 killed in the past 3 weeks.

7. Help for the Panthers
• The Wildlife Rehabilitation Center treats more
than 2,400 injured, sick and orphaned animals
each year.

8. The Future
Without partnerships and land
preservation, the panther will not
survive, nor will all the other animals that
depend on the same habitats.
