Black bears and panthers are two of Florida’s imperiled wildlife species. Both are facing a daunting obstacle to their survival: habitat fragmentation caused by development like roadways, subdivisions and shopping malls. By isolating habitats, human expansion jeopardizes genetic diversity in wildlife populations. Disease and hereditary defects are often the result.
The Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival is a bird and wildlife lover's paradise. The weather couldn't be nicer here this time of year in Florida.
