Pandas are becoming extinct for a few reasons, but they all come down to one factor- humans. Because of industrialization, much of the panda's only food, bamboo, is being destroyed. As people move in, pandas are forced to move out, and into tighter and tighter areas. Because the Giant Panda is only found in China, the area the panda has is already limited. Even though China is a huge country, there are going to be limitations no matter what, regarding space and resources. But as the amount of land and resources the pandas live off of becomes limited due to the activities of humans, the more pandas are competing for food, shelter, and territory. And when a panda doesn't have enough access to these key factors for survival, it will die.
Pandas are also being hunted for their valuable fur. Poachers that want to make a profit off of these animals will kill a great number of pandas every year, making the threat of extinction even greater for these animals. Pandas do not have offspring very often, and when they do, they usually only have one at a time. This means that the pandas killed by poachers are not being replaced by a sufficient number of panda cubs.
We can protect these creatures from extinction by raising awareness about these animals. In order to save pandas, or any other seriously endangered animal, people need to know about the growing need for action against the dangers to the animals. Scientists continue to research panda bears to try and understand them better, which may aid in saving the animals later on. Certain organizations are helping to support the research and conservation of the pandas. Zoos worldwide are attempting to raise pandas in captivity to raise the panda population.
pandas are the coolest animals on earth (this is my opinion)
what ARE people doing to protect pandas
go research WWF
By protecting them and protecting their environment
We can save the pandas by not killing them for food or for clothing, & we could also put up reserves in the wild for them to go into and be protected from the people trying to kill them!
The habitat of the giant panda needs to be protested and increased. Loss of habitat and habitat fragmentation are the main enemies of the panda.
No, lesser (or red) pandas are not extinct.
then there would only be blue pandas no their would only be giant pandas and they would go extinct right after red pandas.
No but they are endangered.
they are not extinct yet
no, only the cute, big, chubby GIANT PANDAS! :'(
Of course not, red pandas are a unique creature and the world need as much diversity as possible.
The Chinese government has taken measures to save the Red Pandas. They have given the pandas back their land and promoting crops that the animals enjoy.
Because the food they eat is red pandas and red pandas are endangered so to save the snow leopards we have to save the red panda first. The above answer is only partially true. Snow leopards are being hunted for their fur. In order to save them we have to stop hunting them for their fur. This, incidentally, is also one of the reasons that the red panda is endangered.
Red Pandas are in the family Ailuridae which includes Red Pandas and their extinct relatives. Most scientists will tell you that red pandas are also distantly related to the family Procyonidae which includes raccoons, coatis, kinkajous, olingos, ringtails and cacomistles.
Polar bears, seals, red pandas, parrots, dodos etc
Red Pandas are vunerable, because their natural habitat is being chopped down.
