The Giant Panda

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

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

The Red Panda lives in the Himalayas (Southeast Asia Mountains, China), the temperate, forest mountain regions of that part, in the mountains. The Red Panda’s hard jaw and strong teeth, help the animal eat its primary food source, bamboo, much like it’s cousin, the Great Panda. Some Distinctive features of the Red Panda are white colored cheeks and ears, red stripes across their side, and of course the spots above its muzzle. The Red Panda is officially an endangered species across the world. They have fur all across their body, to keep them warm in the winter, and extra protection.

The Qinling giant pandas are a slowly diminishing species. If left unprotected they will eventually become extinct. Fan, Li, Quan, Wu, Hu, and Yang investigated the effects of road construction on endangered Qinling giant pandas. Road construction can greatly affect the environment. According to the article, the harmful effects of roadway expansion “extend to an area ten times broader than the roadway itself” (Fan et al., 2011, p. 145). It can cause harmful chemicals to contaminate water sources and food supplies. Subsequently, road construction isolates species from one another, and this in turn “blocks gene flow…, which steeply [decreases] genetic diversity” (Fan et al., 2011, p. 145). On the other hand, road networks can isolate these species from their main water source and/or food supply. The giant panda’s only food source is bamboo. Bamboo is a fickle plant that grows in certain habitats, under pristine conditions. Therefore, becoming isolated from bamboo forestry is detrimental to their survival. Researchers investigated the “impact of road construction on giant panda’s habitat and its carrying capacity in the Qinling Mountains” (Fan et al., 2011, p. 145).

Liam Stack recently wrote an article, “ The Panda Is No Longer Endangered. It’s ‘vulnerable’.” He happily informed the readers that the national Chinese symbol, the panda, is no longer in danger. Instead of being on our endangered species list, along with the eastern gorilla, they are now considered, ‘vulnerable’. The I.U.C.N ( The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources) is responsible for this accomplishment for using forest protection and reforestation. These pandas may be safe for now, but they are worried about the future, since they now struggle with limited resources. They have found a numerous amount of pandas and cubs, but climate change is destroying more than 35 percent of their food. Stabilizing their

The article I chose, Panda’s Habitat ‘Shrinking and Becoming More Fragmented’, was written by Helen Briggs for BBC News. The article talks about how the giant panda’s habitat, the Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, is much worse than it was 30 years ago. The article said that even though the giant panda was taken off the endangered list last year the loss of habitat is still a very serious threat to the animal. The article said that the reason for this is because the panda’s are being split up from each other. The development of roads running through their habitat splits them up so that they’re aren’t able to find each other to breed. Other things such as earthquakes, agriculture, tourism, and logging have majorly affected the habitat as

First I will describe the red panda's habitat. A red panda's habitat consists of bamboo forests and grassy areas with lots of trees. They use trees to keep away from predators. Also, most of their food sources are in trees as well. They are common in areas such as Sichuan, Yunnan and other places in Asia. Red pandas are always on the move. They don't have dens or homes, so they find temporary holes in which they raise their young during their early stages. Then the red pandas pack up, and move again.

The Giant Panda is a creature of mystery. Adults and children alike appreciate it for its cute, fuzzy, lovable qualities, but it is an animal that is in desperate need of immediate attention. Scientists know the basics: how and what they eat, where and how they live, and how they reproduce. The fact remains, however, that this universally loved national symbol of China is facing the threat of extinction. What accounts for this fact and what can be or is being done to protect the panda from such a fate? This paper will discuss the characteristics and lifestyle of the panda as well as issues and questions that arise as a result of the threat of their extinction.

Pandas are very important to China. It is their national animal and they depend on it for things like diplomacy and tourism. A lot of people around the world travel to china to visit their pandas which help the local business and their economy. Panda diplomacy is when china gives pandas to other nations as gifts to help relations

Pandas are almost endangered animals from 1990. Panda gets threats by habitat loss and poaching. Panda is actually a symbol of peace in the country of China. There are only 1000 pandas left in China caused to an extinction. Pandas have the same habitat to the red panda. A female panda ovulate yearly. Pandas that are born can have diseases only about half of the percentage get diseases while being borne by their mother. Panda’s fur is worth up to $60,000 and can be illegally traded at a trade market. These animals has also lived on Earth three million years ago. Pandas also have one of the best sense of smell and they also have 42 teeth like I said before the food that is eaten is not digested. Since there was interesting facts. Let's go into my information. (Lehnardt,

The numbers of pandas left in this world are gradually decreasing and even though, they are only found in the wild in China, they are still economically connected to us Americans and should be preserved. Approximately, there are only 1,864 giant pandas alive in the wild today. Pandas spread the bamboo seeds and help vegetation grow, which helps the nearby communities. Those local communities used the panda’s habitat for food, money, fuel, and medicine. Giant pandas are the national symbol of China and boost the economy of local communities through tourism (Gunther, “Why Should We Save the Giant Panda?”). Most items in the United States are made in China; so, if China’s economy is low and cannot create any more products for America, China’s

Red Pandas are an endangered animal. They are native to the Himalayas and China. They are a very interesting animal. It has physical features that many animals don’t. They have a interesting Biology and Behavior. They have a small diet.

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.

Besides their peculiarly cute appearance, pandas are distinctive members of the bear family because of their peaceful and solitary nature. Indeed, except during mating season, pandas keep to themselves in the wild, that is, in China’s vast forests between the western region of Qinling and the Minshan Mountains.
