Reports, Plans and Suggested Reading

This annual report summarizes panther research and management activities for a fiscal year (1 July to 30 June).  The report includes information about radiocollared panthers, documented births and deaths and maps showing where panthers were tracked.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Park Service and FWC developed a plan to respond to a variety of human-panther interactions.  You can find the plan below as well as annual reports on activities conducted by the interagency team in accordance with the Response Plan.
