Date Issued:
1972-07
Summary:
The natural environment of southern Florida is undergoing vast changes associated with land development resulting from a burgeoning human population. Considerable changes can be expected in wildlife populations in response to widespread habitat alteration and destruction. Specific information on the population status of panther (Felis concolor coryi), alligator (Alligator mississippiensis), black bear (Ursus americanus) and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) is needed to provide baseline information. Both the bear and panther are characteristically wilderness species and do not adapt well to high densities of people. Two of these species, the alligator and Florida panther, currently are included on the Endangered Species List of the Department of the Interior.
