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.
Why is hard for pandas to breed in captivity?
There are many reasons. For one, female pandas are in heat only 72 hours a year. This is a very short window, and if it is missed, the researchers need to wait an entire year before that female can breed again. For this reason, their hormone levels need to be monitored every day. Being in captivity also has a negative affect on Panda libido. This is true for many animals, not just Giant Pandas. If the female doesn't feel the environment can support her cub, she won't bred. Any factors that may bring her stress can also have a negative impact on her willingness to reproduce. Also, male Pandas have very small penises. If the positioning of the breeding pair isn't perfect, the male will fail to impregnate the female. Interaction between captive Pandas can also be dangerous. If the male and female are not interested in each other (and they are often not) they may show aggression. For all these reasons, Pandas are usually artificially inseminated. This has been quite successful.
Why is it so hard to breed pandas?
Animals will only reproduce if they feel their environment can handle it, pandas have incredibly high standards for what constitutes a stress-free well-supplied area, and therefore have a low chance to breed. This applies to captive pandas in particular as their environment is hard to reproduce.

Why are giant pandas engangered?
There are many reasons why they are being endangered. One: Their habitat is decreasing by the population of China. Also the bamboo they eat is endangered because of the human pressure (atmosphere). Two: Humans are killing them, which is called poaching. It is illegal in China, but they are still doing it. Three: Giant Pandas are having a hard time with the breeding situation. Giant pandas have usually 2 babies each pregnancy, but the mother can only take care of one, so the other usually dies. Also Giant pandas are having a hard time getting pregnant, so they have these reserves to help with that. One of them is called Wolong Nature Reserve.
Are there any organizations helping giant pandas?
Well, gee, I wonder. Maybe that group that uses a panda as their logo, but, you know, its hard to say.
Why giant panda is endangered?

Conservation efforts are being made to protect and restore panda habitats to help increase their population numbers.
Why are platypuses illegal outside Australia?
