Path of the Panther tells the story of how a haunting image of the elusive big cat draws together a wildlife photographer, veterinarians, ranchers, conservations, and Indigenous People to confront the expanding development that has pushed the Everglades to the brink of ecological collapse.
The work of this diverse coalition eventually led to the creation of the Florida Wildlife Corridor, an 18-million-acre network of connected lands and waters that, if permanently protected, offers hope for the panther and 2,000 other species.
This screening is part of Sing Out Loud Festival and Live Wildly’s ongoing commitment to fostering awareness about environmental conservation and the uniqueness of Florida’s natural landscapes and wildlife.
