Path of The Panther with Carlton Ward, Jr

Florida Atlantic University presents “Path of the Panther: A Visual Journey to Preserve Wild Florida” with National Geographic Photographer Carlton Ward, Jr. The lecture, which is part of the WLW Visiting Fellows Lecture Program, will take place on Monday, Oct. 5 at 6 pm in the Carole and Barry Kaye Auditorium, Boca Raton campus. The event is free and open to the public but registration is required at fau.edu/wildflorida.

Ward is a conservation photographer and National Geographic Explorer whose passion for nature was born from the Florida landscape. His mission is to inspire appreciation and protection of Florida’s original nature and culture – the endangered wildness that is often hidden in plain sight.

In 2013, Carlton founded Florida Wild, a media and production company working to elevate and protect wild Florida through strategic communications. “The Path of the Panther” project has been Carlton’s full-time focus since 2016, supported by grants from the National Geographic Society and numerous partners. Carlton and his team are managing a network of professional photography and video camera traps throughout critical habitat of the Florida Wildlife Corridor. Their purpose is to inspire a public and political movement to save the Florida Wildlife Corridor through the story of the endangered Florida panther.
