Rollins grad Tori Linder gives talk on Emmy-winning Florida panther documentary

Lend an ear to wildlife conservationist Tori Linder as she recounts her experiences researching the endangered Florida panther and the efforts to preserve and protect this native animal’s ever-shrinking habitat.

As outside forces (cough greedy developers cough) push the Florida Everglades closer to ecological destruction, the Florida panther finds its once lush homeland reduced to a small cluster of islands.

Linder’s work on the National Geographic documentary Path of the Panther won her an Emmy for Outstanding Nature Documentary. The conservationist and film producer is a Rollins grad, and this homecoming engagement, courtesy of the Central Florida Freethought Community, should leave you with plenty to think about … much of it foreboding.

2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 16, University Club of Winter Park, 841 N. Park Ave., Winter Park, cflfreethought.org, free.
