What is the panther populations of Florida?

The Florida panther (Puma concolor coryi) is a critically endangered subspecies of puma found exclusively in the U.S. state of Florida, particularly in the southern portions including the Everglades as well as Big Cypress National Preserve. According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), in 2020-2021, the estimated wild panther population stood at around 120-230 adult and subadult panthers. However, please note that these population estimates can vary and change over time due to fluctuations in birth rates, mortality, emigration, and immigration between fragmented panther subpopulations. For the most current population information, refer to reputable sources like the FWC or research findings conducted in conjunction with organizations involved in Florida panther conservation.
