The Giant Pandas are one of many animals that are classified as endangered species. If their homes continue to get destroyed, the less of them there’ll be (and their birthrate is pretty low). Most are kept in zoos with a habitat that are as close as they can be to their natural environment.
I think they are one of my favourite animals because they look exactly like a huge teddy bear. When you look at them, it makes you want to go over and hug it. They are very cute animals.
Even though the dragon is China’s national emblem, the Giant Panda can be seen as a second national emblem for the country.
The Giant Panda can be found in mountain ranges in central China. The used to stay in lowland areas but because of deforestation, farming and other land developments, it restricted the areas for them to live in.
WWF is an organisation that have been active to conserve Giant Panda’s since 1980. They have been helping the government of China with the National Conservation Programme for the Giant Panda and their habitat. The programme has shown significant progress.
