  • Who Have Helped the Red Pandas?

    Zoos are a major part in helping endangered species, Red Pandas are one of them. Zoos do a lot of behind the scene stuff like breeding to save endangered species, taking care of them, raising them, and trying to repopulate the species. This will be going on now and the future, there is no specific date for this event.
  • What We Can do to help save The Red Panda

    We can fight against climate change, preserve the ecological integrity of South Asia, and we can Protect Global biodiversity hotspot (Rainforests, Serengeti, etc.). There are already 20 protected areas in India, 35 in China, 8 in Nepal, and 5 in Bhutan. There is no time date this has started and it will be going on in the future.
