U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service today released the Interagency Florida
   Panther Response Team Annual Report: 2007-2008

   The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service today released the Interagency
Florida
   Panther Response Team Annual Report: 2007-2008 that summarizes
   human-panther interactions investigated by the Interagency Florida
Panther
   Response Team between July 2007 - June 2008.

   The Response Team includes biologists, law enforcement officers and
   other agency representatives from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
   National Park Service and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
   Commission.  As more and more people move into panther habitat, the
   potential for human-panther interactions increases.

   Therefore, the Team developed a plan to promote public safety and
   panther conservation.  Reported interactions included panther
sightings,
   encounters, an unconfirmed incident, and multiple domestic animal
   depredations.

   Additionally, the report summarizes outreach and educational efforts
   completed by the team, partnering organizations, and local government
   agencies to provide the public with the information and tools they
need
   to live and recreate in panther habitat.
