Florida panther activity is one of the rarest sights in North America, and moments like this show why Southwest Florida is such an important habitat for the species.

The @PathofthePanther team and National Geographic photographer @carltonward have spent nearly seven years using remote camera traps to document the panther.

The Florida panther is an endangered subspecies with an estimated population of roughly 120 to 230, most living in Collier County and the surrounding preserves. These cats move through quiet corridors of wetlands, pine flatwoods, and hardwood hammocks, often traveling at night when the landscape is cooler and more active. Backyard

The Florida panther remains one of the rarest apex predators in North America, surviving almost entirely within the natural systems of Southwest Florida. Naples and Collier County sit inside the last stronghold of this species, where protected corridors connect Big Cypress National Preserve, Fakahatchee Strand Preserve, Picayune Strand State Forest, and Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. These landscapes create a continuous network of wetlands, flatwoods, cypress strands, and hardwood hammocks that allo

Once found throughout the southeast United States, the Florida panther now occupies only a small area of South Florida, about 5 percent of its former range, and now less than 200 individuals remain in the wild. Every individual is important.
