Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Introduce The new “Protect the Panther” License Plate

The new “Protect the Panther” license plate is a stunner, featuring a photo by Carlton Ward of the now-famous first female panther documented north of the Caloosahatchee River since 1973, along with her kitten. Our staff worked with Carlton and the Fish & Wildlife Foundation of Florida to design the new plate. These license plates help fund the State’s panther-related research, rescue and conservation activities. Other ways you can help panthers when on the road – follow all speed limits and panther speed zones, which coincide with areas in south Florida where panthers are known to cross roadways.
