Pandas are precious because if we lose them, they will only be a legend. We must experience the beauty of having them exist on our planet. Some people think we should just stop trying to save them, because even if we got their numbers up, they would just fall again. They only eat one kind of bamboo, and that kind grows only on the North side of certain mountains. It has little nutrional value, so they must constantly eat. I guess the only reason we bother to save them is because, well, out of pure love for the gentle giants.
They are nearly extinct, we humans see some sort of need to keep them around, that's why they're special. Also, they are so cute!
they are
because there are not many left in the wild, making them very hard to find in the wild
