Author, photographer, conservationist, and National Geographic explorer Carlton Ward Jr. has roots in Florida that go back eight generations. He uses his photography of bears and panthers to inspire conservation of his beloved home state's nature and culture.
As the founder of the Florida Wildlife Corridor project, Carlton campaigns for public support to connect, protect and restore the statewide network of lands and waters that support Florida's wildlife and people. Carlton has trekked more than 2,000 miles through the corridor, during two National Geographic-supported missions, producing the award-winning photography and books that illustrate the importance of giving wildlife room to roam. Now embarking on his most important journey, Carlton aims to accelerate the rate of conservation in Florida. His current National Geographic project, Path of the Panther, focuses on one of the world's most elusive and endangered carnivores to show how the Florida panther can help us save the Corridor and keep the Everglades connected to the rest of America.
