It wasnât so long ago when a lot of people thought the Florida panther was extinct. They were very nearly right. That the panther still exists at all is a miracleâthe result of a desperate experiment that led to the most remarkable comeback in the history of the Endangered Species Act. Told by Tampa Bay Times reporter Pittman.
What The Reviewers Say
Shortsighted developers and expedient politicians loom as easy targets for Mr. Pittman’s wrath, but he’s most engaging when he unpacks the moral quandaries that surface even when people of good will are trying to do the right thing.
Given that this is a story of Florida, a level of absurdity is expected, if not outright required. Pittman happily obliges with a number of colorful caricatures.
... fascinating, page-turning.
In this lively, funny, detailed account of the Florida panther’s brush with oblivion and the madcap human efforts to rescue it, the author writes as an authority on both the animals and the uniquely Floridian men and women who have decided their fate.
