Essay about Saving Giant Pandas

They are approximately 1,600 panda bears that live in the wild all over the world. However, there are more panda's in China than anywhere else. With this being said, and China's continual growth, this, causes destruction to the panda's habitat. China uses bamboo for construction and therefore, removes the main source of food for the panda bear.

Pandas are important to our ecosystem because if we don’t have pandas in our ecosystem the ecosystem will collapse. It will collapse because the pandas help the bamboo trees grow more in China. In this website called WWF, they say,¨We should do everything we can to save the giant panda because we are the ones that driven it to the edge of extinction. And because we can. But pandas also play a crucial role in

Pandas are cute, cuddly and one of the most beloved animals in the world. Sadly, their numbers have declined and there are only 1600 pandas left living in the wild. Do you ever ask why? To save them is the mission of many conservationists, but should this be at any expense? The dilemma that is facing the animal world right now; should we save pandas or should we allow them to become extinct? The emotive photos of pandas on the internet are the only reason why everyone is in love with them. In reality, pandas are terrifically expensive to protect and our choice, your choice cannot be based on the fact of their endearing fluffiness, while other less attractive species are forced to stay in a shadow and wait for their death to approach.

The Red Panda is part of the endangered species due to the decline of their habitat loss and fragmentation, poaching, and inbreeding depression, although red pandas are protected by national laws in their range countries. According to the recent data by IUCN “Red Panda is listed as Endangered because its population has plausibly declined by 50% over the last three generations (estimated at 18 years) and this decline is projected to continue, and probably intensify, in the next three generations.” This is due to the fact that their natural habitat is shrinking as more and more forests are destroyed. Red Pandas are often difficult to be seen in its favored habitat in the bamboo forests in the Eastern Himalayas. Less than 10,000 exist in the wild today, threatened by habitat loss, grazing pressures and hunting. “Red pandas are often killed when they get caught in traps meant for other animals such as wild pigs and deer. They are also poached for their

Due to the lack of knowledge about this species, the red panda was first recorded by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (and Natural Resources,) also known as IUCN, as Vulnerable in 1994. Shortly after this revelation there was an increase in interest, by conservationists, to pursue additional information and protection for this species. In 1996, the red panda was assessed and digressed to the Endangered status; the species remained that way for 12 years until another assessment was taken, and showed improvement in 2008, recording the red panda as Vulnerable once again. Unfortunately, due to an increase of human activity on the red panda habitat has spurred another decline in the population for the red panda. Angela Glatston, a red panda expert, assisted in the evaluation of the red panda for the IUCN in 2015; Glatston concluded her study and wrote via an email interview. “There is a structured form to complete which asks for information on distribution, numbers, threats, etc. Then I looked at criteria for status. The information on red panda suggested endangered so that was my recommendation. This report and recommendation are reviewed by the IUCN, and in this case they were accepted (2016).” As of April 2015, according to the IUCN, the red panda has returned to its status as

According to a reliable website” The giant panda is a well known and well-loved species that is being driven to extinction by habitat loss. It has become one of the most endangered mammals in the world, with only 1,600 of them left” (Exploring nature education). Also According to another credible website about polar bears, “Polar bears might not be endangered but they are one category off of becoming endangered, there are 20,000-25,000 left worldwide” (animalpawnation).As you can see the Giant panda is classified as endangered. There are only about 1,600 left in the world. 1,600 may be a lot but surprisingly not to many scientists and researchers. On the other hand polar bears are classified as threatened one step away from becoming endangered. There are only about 20,000- 25,000 left worldwide.Other than being endangered and threatened they also share many similar characteristics. The giant panda and polar bear are both similar and different in their physical qualities, habitat, and diet.

The Giant Panda Bear, or Ailuropoda melanoleuca are mammals with an omnivorous diet. They are considered endangered-only 1,000 are left in the wild. The main cause for this decline is the erosion of habitat by clearing of the forest for crop cultivation. Institutions have been created soley for the purpose of conserving species dying of due to this industry. People around the world are working to study and help protect this majestic species God perfectly

Pandas infrequently reproduce because they are only able to become pregnant in 3-4 days in the spring (“Giant Panda” 1). The main cause of their population decline is deforestation. China has a vastly growing population and is taking away their resources and habitats for development( “Giant Panda”1). With such a low chance of reproducing and a low count of population in the wild, it is obligatory for them to be kept in conservation. The forestry administration stated about the pandas, “If we downgrade their conservation status, or neglect or relax our conservation work, the populations and habitats of giant pandas could still suffer irreversible loss, and our achievements would be quickly lost,” (Stack, Liam 1). I completely agree with their view on conservation. Not stabilizing their conservation, but reducing it, is basically giving the pandas the title, “hopeless” instead of vulnerable. There is no reason to go backwards when the pandas have been doing very well. The chinese government put, so much effort and investment into these pandas. It would be a shame to see hard work go to waste, just as soon as things started to get more

- Pandas are becoming endangered due and one the main reasons is habitat destruction. Since the population in China continues to grow, pandas' habitat gets taken over by development, pushing them into smaller and less livable areas.

Overall now that you have a more precise intuition on what pandas are, what they do, and why there are endangered. What that in mind the next time you stumble across an panda, clear those thoughts on having panda for dinner and instead fill them with thoughts on how to save from becoming extinct.

According to Holland, “Like many endangered species, giant pandas have declined as a growing human population has grabbed wild lands for human uses. That problem hasn’t gone away since the species was labeled endangered in 1990.”

The best way to help save giant pandas from extinction is to donate to conservation projects.

Did you know pandas have been on earth for 3 million years? The discovery of pandas was spreaded around the world about these ¨cat like creatures¨. About these creatures that were different than any other animal. Pandas are one of the most popular parts of China and attractions in China, but few zoos in China have pandas. Attractions meant to attract tourists and just regular people in general. Pandas are fuzzy , lazy, with white and black spotted fur.

The first couple pandas, Xuang Xuang and Lin Hui, were sent to Thailand for the friendship of Thailand and China. They have lived in Chiang Mai zoo since 2003. In 2009, they gave birth to a little panda, Lin Ping, by artificial insemination method. People from everywhere came to Chiang Mai zoo for watching this panda family.

Giant pandas are among the rarest mammals in the world. There are probably less than 1,000 left in the wild. Although adult giant pandas have few natural enemies, the young are sometimes preyed upon by leopards. Habitat encroachment and destruction are the greatest threats to the continued existence of the giant panda. This is mainly because of the demand for land and natural resources by China's 1 billion inhabitants. To offset this situation, the Chinese government has set aside 11 nature preserves where bamboo flourishes and giant pandas are known to live.
