So the hard bit of stopping poaching has been successful, but we have failed to ensure that giant pandas have access to adequate food supplies. Humans have been harvesting their main food source, bamboo. They have also been degrading giant panda habitat by collecting medicinal herbs. Obviously, this is a problem we can successfully deal with but need your help to do it. By adopting a giant panda through WWF, you will help the organisation ensure the giant panda population will continue to thrive.

Habitat destruction is the main reason why so many species all over the world are threatened and despite the fact that the vast majority of giant pandas live in nature reserves, they are still not immune. These nature reserves are being dissected by roads and railways and this leaves panda populations isolated from one another. Isolated panda populations prevents breeding from taking place which means the success we have had with the conservation of the giant panda is being undermined. By adopting a panda you will be funding the important conservation work WWF does in ensuring pandas can continue to breed.

The reason why giant pandas are found in only one part of the world is because they are extremely sensitive to their climate which allows bamboo to grow. If we continue to allow temperatures to rise, all the hard work that led to the success of panda conservation will have amounted to nothing. Help WWF advocate against carbon emissions by adopting a panda.

Pandas are famous all over the world and it’s not surprising that people come from far and wide to see them in their natural habitat. Unfortunately, tourism has not been managed in a sustainable manner and this has put pressure on the panda’s habitat. By adopting a panda you will be helping WWF partner with the government in adopting eco-friendly tourism policies which ensure that panda populations continue to grow.
