Synopsis: Drawn in by the haunting specter of the Florida panther, a wildlife photographer, veterinarians, ranchers, conservationists, and Indigenous peoples find themselves on the front lines of an accelerating battle between forces of renewal and destruction that have pushed the Everglades to the brink of ecological collapse. In a struggle resonating across the globe, the panther’s habitat is becoming an island. Its lush territory transformed into subdivisions and roadways. A paradise paved over and nearly forgotten. Perched on the edge of extinction, the panther is an emblem of our once connected world. Showing us how to protect the Earth’s last wild places. Or else, a harbinger, of what could befall our planet, if the “Path of the Panther” becomes a dead end.
