What is being done to stop the extinction o pandas?

Answer 1

Much is being done in today`s siciety to help save the animals on the endangered species list. The most important reason that the giant panda is at the risk of becoming extinct is habitat loss. The giant panda is found throughout the continent of Asia. Today, people are helping the giant pandas to gain their habitat back by making deforestation illegal in China. Temporaraly we have been moving the pandas at risk into zoos in the continents of Asia and North America (mainly the country of the U.S.A.). Once we are positive that the habitat is fully repared all of the pandas now residing at the zoos will be again released into the forsests.

Answer 2

There are many groups, and organizations concentrating time, energy, and other resources, in efforts to help support, and protect the existing wild population of the Giant Panda. The Chinese government has established over 50 reserves with the help of conservation organizations, and other groups. They have protected more than 45% of the last mountainous regions, equaling over 6,000 square miles of mountain and forest terrain known to be inhabited by wild Pandas. Plus, they have set aside corridors of new growth bamboo for protection from domesticated animal grazing, and human interference. This is designed to connect the existing forests and encourage the expansion of the Pandas breeding, and feeding migration patterns, thus helping diversify the wild pandas gene pool.

The China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda at Wolong, is also working with Zoos, and other organizations in an attempt to learn as much as possible about the breeding, rearing of infants, and nutrition. They have developed many methods to help increase the birth, and mortality rates of newborns. Helping to further education by sending Panda pairs to different facilities for research and public education. One of these extremely successful new methods is the technique known as "twin swapping". If twins are born, this procedure gives both cubs time in the care of the mother panda, rotating them every few days to a week, so that both of them receive all the advantages of her milk, her natural nurturing and have a much better chance of survival. Also, they have developed a milk substitute with the help of major Zoos, to assist with incubation, the transition periods, and when the mother doesn't have enough milk for the cubs. The Foping Nature Reserve has a program that is the first of its kind in over 20 years, combining the skills of world class scientists from research centers across the world to focus on behavioral enrichment, husbandry, and olfactory communications.

The Chinese government has made serious strides towards educating the public about the plight of the Giant Panda. Setting in place protection against poaching, and even gun control for the reserves. The numbers of Pandas brought to the Research Center by the general public, for recovery, and medical care due to injuries or illness has increased with the education. Logging has been banned in the reserves and the bamboo corridors, and the roads providing access to the reserves are patrolled to help prevent anyone entering without express authority, for the care or study of the environment or the Pandas. With the continued aide, and commitment of conservation groups, along with the diligence of the Chinese government it is hopeful that the protections afforded the Panda and their habitat will be strictly enforced, while the joint efforts continue to inspire new insightful methods to aide in the growth of the populations of the Giant Panda.

Answer 3

The first step taken was in 1958 when China established the Wolong National Nature Reserve to protect Giant Pandas. In the 1990's, several laws were enacted to help their survival in reserves, including gun control and removal of human residents. But their status is primarily due to habitat loss, which means their only real hope of returning to healthy figures is by reversing trends in deforestation and human disturbance of the forest.

Answer 4

people are donating money to the adoption societies and now if you are seen killing a panda you will be fined

Answer 5

• they are being endangered because people just want there fur and there is less places for them to live. also because there is less food fo them to eat.

Answer 6

Pandas are being put in wildlife parks and Zoo's to help get their numbers up again

Answer 7

The Chinese emperor put out a rule to protect them.

Answer 8

not cutting down their food bamboo and helping them reproduce
