Living beings use bamboo trees for lots of things: ~ Pandas eat bamboo ~ People cut down bamboo trees for houses, buildings, etc. Because of all this action, people need to cut them down. Since bamboo houses are "in" during this generation, more and more people are cutting them down each year. Bottom line - about 7,000 bamboo trees are cut down in a year.

If you put the bamboo into the ground, it will last up to 2 years, then it will rot off at the ground level. Above the ground the bamboo will last many, many years. If outdoors in the elements it will likely last more than 10 years. It is naturally rot and pest resistant. I've never heard of termites eating bamboo. If you do not treat the bamboo with a water sealer or urethane outdoors the bamboo will naturally lose its tan appearance and become a grayish color over time. Indoors, bamboo will last forever. You do not have to treat bamboo if you do not wish to.
Well, they are running out of bamboo, so maybe make bamboo reserves for them to eat and each year plant new bamboo trees so you don't run out.
The giant panda eats bamboo. It climbs bamboo trees and rips of branches. The giant panda eats 4 tons of bamboo a year!
