Why are humans not helping the panda bears at all?
Humans are trying to help the giant panda. There are many, many conservation projects out there maintained for the sole purpose of breeding and attempting to save giant pandas. Unfortunately, habitat loss is still a major threat to giant pandas. Another obstacle is the fact that giant pandas have a low conception rate and a low birth rate in the wild and in captivity. In captivity, it is extremely hard to know if a female is actually pregnant as female giant pandas often go through pseudo (false) pregnancies in which they exhibit all the same signs they would if they were actually pregnant. It isn't until the hormone levels of the panda decrease and a birth does not happen that keepers know the panda has experienced a pseudo pregnancy.
