Giant Panda
Black and White
The panda is one of the most famous species in the world. Remarkably unique in apperance, the Giant Panda is actually part of the bear family.
The Giant Panda's conservation status is actually quite optimistic. Many organizations believe that without the massive conservation efforts in place, the Giant Panda would be an extinct species. There are an estimated 2,000 Giant Pandas remaining, but many studies are showing an increase in population. The Chinese Government has set up breeding colonies in Woolong. Roughly 100 cubs are born each year.
The Giant Panda's diet consists of nerlay 100% bamboo. Protecting the bamboo forests is critical to the Giant Panda's survival.
