Help Purchase a Second Reconyx Camera to Document Florida Panthers in the Wild

HC600 HyperFire™ High Output Covert IR Camera

Goal: Met - Additional Funds Needed For updates and pictures on this project please provide your email address

Update

What your donation buys:

One camera plus security enclosure, lock, memory card, and batteries.

• Reconyx cameras are state-of-art field cameras that take great pictures, are very reliable, and are made in USA!
• Six months of gasoline to monitor cameras (What good is the camera if the pictures are not retrieved!?!).

Benefits to Florida panthers and panther advocacy:

Photos provide important scientific data and are a handy tool for nature education. The camera you purchase will:

• Document what species of wildlife are using underpasses and roaming conservation lands.
• Document how often an underpass is used.
• Enable Florida panther biologists to monitor or become aware of specific panthers including injured panthers or       mothers with kittens. Look closely there is a mother Panther with three kittens in the photo below.
• Provide a humane alternative and a far less expensive way to study panthers - traditional method is tracking with     specially trained dogs, treeing, tranquilizing, and attaching telemetry collars.
• Allow the public to see and appreciate these magnificent wild cats and other native wildlife living in their natural         habitats.
• Help FWF’s advocacy and education campaigns that promote recovery of the Florida panther recovery and the         protection of other native wildlife.
