Florida Strikes Bipartisan Deal To Help Endangered Panthers Come Back

"State lawmakers agree on $400m measure to expand ‘wildlife corridors’ in effort to help panthers and other endangered species"

"In a political culture where bipartisan legislation is a rare species, lawmakers in one state have come together to agree major new conservation efforts that will help that other endangered animal – the Florida panther.

The big cat, whose habitat has a history of being swallowed up and its numbers hunted by humans, is expected to benefit from a $400m cash boost.

Legislation recently passed in Florida with unanimous support will boost protected land and expand “wildlife corridors” running almost the length of the state."
