Will you help me save the Florida Panther?

Question

There are fewer than 100 Florida panthers left in the wild, and many of them live in Big Cypress National Preserve. Yet the National Park Service is now considering opening up a part of Big Cypress to off-road vehicles (ORVs)! Excessive ORV use has already destroyed large sections of Big Cypress's sensitive wetlands. Opening more of Big Cypress to ORV use would put undue stress on the Florida panthers and other endangered wildlife that already struggle for survival there.

You can help play an important role in ensuring that the National Park Service protects the home of some of the world's last remaining Florida panthers. Please sign the petition, following the link below (or copy/paste it in the address bar), and tell the National Park Service that Big Cypress National Preserve -- and the Florida panthers and other endangered wildlife that live there -- need to be protected from damaging off-road vehicle use. It is quite easy to sign this petition, so won't you give it a try?

Answer 6

My comment in the petition.

Please protect the Florida Panther. I am a recreational off-roader and am willing to not use these lands to help the panthers. Most offroaders feel the same and don't want to mess around in areas that will destroy habitat. It gives the sport a bad name.
