There are 2 subspecies of panda: The Giant, black and white panda, and the ‘Qinling panda’– A much smaller sized, brown subspecies of panda, discovered in 1985 in the mountain ranges of the southern Shaanxi Province in China. In the wilderness, huge pandas live only in the remote, mountainous areas of China.

Still, it is reported that there are less than 2,000 pandas left in the wild, due to environment loss, farming, fur hunting, and other elements. Panda bears play a crucial part in the environment of China’s bamboo forests, by spreading seeds, and therefore, growing new plants, which serves both animals and people.

One element contributing to their threatened status is the low birth rate for pandas. Thinking about that female pandas are only fertile two or three days of the year, it makes sense that recreation in the wild is more difficult for this types. There are about 27 zoos worldwide that protect Giant Pandas, and foster environments to encourage recreation. The most crucial factor for maintaining wild pandas is to protect their environment, especially bamboo forests, their main source of nutrition.

HISTORY OF NATIONAL PANDA DAY
The origin of this holiday is unknown, we can assume that the day was created to bring awareness to the charm of pandas, in order to keep them from going extinct. In 1961, the World Wide Fund for Nature was formed, and produced their logo around the Panda, because it is “an animal that is beautiful, threatened, and enjoyed by many individuals on the planet,” as stated by Sir Peter Scott, among the very first WWF founders. The panda ended up being a sign of the preservation movement around the globe– a call to action to maintain threatened species, and our natural wildlife environments for our wild animals.

In 2020, due to the reproduction efforts in zoos, reforestation and conservation projects, pandas are considered “vulnerable” to termination. They are no longer on the edge of extinction, it’s important to keep the environment for pandas intact, as the huge panda plays a crucial part in our natural ecosystem. There have been some political debates in China and worldwide just recently on how essential it is to keep investing money to breed pandas in captivity, and protect the forests of China, where the wild panda bears live. According to a scientific paper released in 2015 by The Society for Conservation Biology, preserving the natural habitat of the huge panda likewise assists 70% of the nation’s forest birds, 70% of mammals and 31% of amphibians. Pandas play an essential role in forests, and it’s our job to secure them.
