Crossing Panthers

The vast swampland of the Big Cypress
National Preserve is key habitat for one of the last populations of Florida 
panthers, one of America’s most endangered animals. But running through this 
lush landscape is U.S. 41 -- a deadly road that has claimed the lives of several 
of these magnificent creatures. 

Fortunately, help is on the way for Florida panthers and other wildlife in 
the Big Cypress. Thanks to Defenders, the Florida Department of Transportation 
will construct a wildlife crossing point at one of the most lethal parts of 
U.S. 41

Defenders is a leading advocate for wildlife crossings in transportation 
planning, securing millions of dollars in federal funding since 1998 to give our 
wildlife safe passage.
