Should we save pandas? Even though the number of giant pandas has dropped to the point where they are considered seriously endangered, some have suggested that it is not worth the efforts to continue trying to save the species. BBC naturalist, Chris Packham, made this shocking statement to RadioTimesMagazine: “It’s not a strong species. Unfortunately, it’s big and cute and it’s a symbol of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). And we pour millions of pounds into panda conservation. I think we should pull_the_plug. Let them go.”
Fortunately, not many people share this extreme viewpoint. Instead of just allowing the species to become extinct, panda conservation efforts are in full force, and you can help! Why not “adopt” a panda at the WWF or Pandas International?Both sites raise money for giant panda conservation. You can also help raise attention to this endangered species. The following ideas are from Pandas International: spread the word: share your passion to save pandas; sponsor or adopt a giant panda; sign up for monthly donations to Pandas International or another organization; consider a project for your class, if you are a student; or at your next celebration (birthday, holidays, etc.), ask guests to make a donation to help pandas, rather than bring a gift.
There are only about 1,600 giant pandas left in the wild. One of the biggest reasons that giant pandas are dying out is the loss of habitat. Pandas rely on bamboo for food, and the plant is slowgrowing. In their native lands of southeast Asia, many bamboo forests have been cleared. This drives pandas farther away in search of food. Many die of hunger before they can get to the next forest.
Personally, I don’t think that something should be given up just because it is difficult. After all, the panda is not endangered as a result of natural selection. Its habitat has been destroyed by our actions.
