Its lush territory transformed into subdivisions. A paradise vanishing into thin air.Perched on the edge of extinction, the panther is an emblem of our once connected world. A vision of what could be again. Or else, a harbinger, of what could befall our planet, if the ‘Path of the Panther’ becomes a dead end.Learn more about Eric:https://www.instagram.com/bendiccihttps://grizzlycreekfilms.comWatch Path of the Panther:https://pathofthepanther.com/watchhttps://www.instagram.com/pathofthepantherFind it on Disney+ and HuluSponsor Messages:Relion BatteriesPlan your next adventure with Outlaw 1072s from RELiON.
