Florida Panther: Habitat Preservation Plan, South Florida Population
The Florida Panther Habitat Preservation Plan identifies occupied and potential panther habitat, threats to these habitats, and the options available to maintain sufficient habitat for a self-sustaining population of panthers in south Florida. Population viability analysis data indicate that from a demographic and genetic standpoint a self- sustaining population should consist of a minimum of 50 adult panthers. Preserving natural habitats in south Florida will benefit the panther, other wildlife and humankind. The Habitat Preservation Working Group used 17,386 radio telemetry locations collected on 43 panthers from 1981-1991, existing reports and publications, and the expertise of field biologists, and concluded that: The range of the Florida panther occupied at least 3.1 million acres; Approximately 53 percent of the occupied range and 34 percent of all radio telemetry locations occurred on private lands; The south Florida panther population may be below the 1989 Viability Analysis & Species Survival Plans minimum goal of 50 adult animals; Site-specific habitat preservation strategies are needed for 926,300 acres of panther habitat on privately owned land in south Florida; and Retention of private ownership should be emphasized in the preservation methods of those lands that continue to support essential habitat for Florida panthers.
