About the Film

The Need for Connectivity tells the story of an incredible panther, FP224, and how vehicles and growth can adversely affect wildlife.

The cast, Mark, Jason, Brent, and Sean describe the challenges and dangers faced by panthers and other wildlife in Florida as almost 1000 people a day move to the State.

They also show us the dedicated work being done by so many people and agencies in the state to create wildlife crossings and help save the Florida Wildlife Corridor before it's too late.

If we learn from our past and are determined enough, there is a bright future ahead for the panthers, and for all of Florida.

The Importance of The Need for Connectivity

Legislative Influence

The film played a pivotal role in the passage of the Florida Wildlife Corridor Act

Biological Necessity

Habitat connectivity is necessary to provide the genetic flow needed to prevent the Florida panther's extinction.

Inspiring Advocacy

By documenting the tireless efforts of conservationists, the film transforms scientific data into visual story-telling, allowing for greater public empathy and support.

Save the Panther, Save the Corridor

The Florida panther is a critical umbrella species that reflects the health of South Florida's ecosystem. By protecting the Florida panther's territories, we preserve the Florida Corridor.
