There are approximately one to two hundred wild Florida panthers left on earth. Last year alone, 24 of the endangered animals were killed—not by hunters, but in collisions with Florida automobiles. This year's tally will likely exceed that. In the midst of such daunting conservation efforts, the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission is considering a bold new tactic: giving up. "Panther populations are straining and currently exceed the tolerance of landowners, residents and recreationists in the region," the memo reads.
