The main reason for panda’s extinction is the destruction of bamboo forests. In fact, bamboo is their principal food source; the problem is that it takes a long time to grow. When humans in Asia want to create industrial or agricultural areas, they have to destroy panda’s habitat. That’s why bamboo forests started to decline enormously. Proactive organizations have put pressure on Chinese government to sanction these acts in the reserved areas and want to expand these areas too. Pandas are endangered for a second reason: some people hunt them without knowing they are endangered and don’t care about the balance and well-being of the eco-system. Finally, the World Wildlife Foundation has made it possible for people to make a donation and adopt a symbolic panda bear and help it to be protected in the wild.
