PANDAS IN DANGER
PANDAS ARE CLOSE TO EXTINCTION BECAUSE OF HABITAT LOSS...AND WHY IS THAT? BECAUSE OF US.

WHAT IS A PANDA?

I'M PRETTY SURE WE ALL KNOW WHAT PANDAS ARE, BUT DO WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENT KINDS OF THEM? THE NAME "GIANT PANDA" IS SOMETIMES USED TO DISTINGUISH IT FROM THE RED PANDA, A NEIGHBORING MUSTELOID. 

THIS IS A RED PANDA

Red Pandas Are Not the Lesser Pandas | HowStuffWorks


SO WHY ARE THEY ENDANGERED?

PANDAS ARE ENDANGERED DUE TO HABITAT LOSSES...AND WHY IS THAT? BECAUSE OF US.PANDAS LIVE MAINLY IN CHINA, BUT DUE TO URBANISATION, THEY ARE LOSING THEIR HOMES. THE LAST SURVEY IN 2014 ESTIMATED THAT THERE ARE ONLY 1864 PANDAS LEFT IN THE WILD. AND THIS NUMBER KEEPS DROPPING.

WHY DO PANDAS MATTER?

PANDAS ARE  IMPORTANT AND CRUCIAL TO THE ECOSYSTEM.
 THE GIANT PANDA AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF AN UMBRELLA SPECIES CONFERRING PROTECTION ON MANY OTHER SPECIES WHERE PANDAS LIVE. IN OTHER WORDS, WHEN WE PROTECT PANDAS, WE INVARIABLY PROTECT OTHER ANIMALS THAT LIVE AROUND THEM, SUCH AS MULTICOLORED PHEASANTS, THE GOLDEN MONKEY, TAKIN, AND CRESTED IBIS. PANDAS ALSO BRING SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC BENEFITS TO MANY LOCAL COMMUNITIES THROUGH ECOTOURISM. - WWF

HOW CAN WE PROTECT PANDAS?

THERE ARE MANY WAYS WE CAN PROTECT THEM LIKE-
-PROTECT THEIR HOMES/HABITATS
-PUT A STOP TO POACHING
-PROTECT BAMBOO(THEIR MAIN SOURCE OF FOOD)

I HOPE THAT THIS ARTICLE MADE YOU REALIZE THAT EVEN THE MOST HARMLESS CREATURES ARE SUFFERING DEATH BECAUSE OF OUR CONSCIOUS OR SUBCONSCIOUS ACTIONS. DO SOMETHING AND ACT QUICKLY!

The group has now become active on all social media platforms specially Twitter, exposing the corruption and fraud practices of the government. All Lives Matter. Racism.
