Do pandas deserve to be extinct?
They do not deserve to go extinct. There is a lot of confusion about giant pandas, possibly more than any other species alive. This division between captive and wild pandas is important. Because the truth about pandas depends on which kind of panda you’re talking about.
Do you think pandas should be left to face extinction?
We could have this argument about the frogs of the rainforest, and the issues would be identical, but the ability to get people’s attention would be far lower. So in that sense, yes you could argue that conservationists capitalise on the panda’s appeal. And, to be fair, I can understand where Chris is coming from.
Why do we need to help the pandas?
“The reason they need our help is that people are driving them to extinction. We are taking over their habitat, so we are the ones that have to help save them now,” Brandie Smith, senior curator at the National Zoo, said.
Why are pandas more endangered than other animals?
It might have something to do with the fact that none are even remotely as cuddly as the panda bear. And yet, these are three examples of animals that are not only endangered (that’s a more pressing classification than the panda’s current status), but, unlike the panda, are keystone animals for their ecosystems.
Is it possible for a panda to survive?
So if pandas can survive, that would be great. But let’s face it: conservation, both nationally and globally, has a limited amount of resources, and I think we’re going to have to make some hard, pragmatic choices. The truth is, pandas are extraordinarily expensive to keep going.
Why are pandas still endangered?
About a year ago there was some massive hype that giant pandas were taken off the endangered species list, but unfortunately, pandas are still very much endangered due to one main cause; their habitats are being lost due to human interference. That’s right folks, these adorable animals are losing their habitats because of us.
Why should we save the giant panda?
We should do everything we can to save the giant panda because we are the ones that have driven it to the edge of extinction. And because we can. But pandas also play a crucial role in China’s bamboo forests by spreading seeds and helping the vegetation to grow. So by saving pandas, we will also be saving so much more.
Why we should protect pandas?
Why should we protect them. Saving red pandas is important because they are an ambassador for clean air and water for approximately 500 million people. The forests where red panda live are the lungs of South Asia and if these forests are intact and function properly, just like a humans lungs, then we can ensure a healthy life for the people,…
How can people save pandas?
One of the best ways humans can protect giant pandas is by preserving their natural habitat. Giant pandas need to live in forests that provide them with their primary source of food– bamboo . But one of the problems with the bear’s food source is that bamboo dies after it flowers, leaving nothing for the pandas to eat.
