Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
How did
China save the giant panda?
The
status of the giant panda was changed from endangered to vulnerable. That
sounds like good news at least for a while. Thanks to the Chinese government’s effort
for the last few decades, the population of the cute animal increased to a little
over 2,000, up from 1,200 in the 1980s.
How did
they do that? Did they domesticate all or most of them and put them in nice and
comfortable zoos all over the world? No. That wouldn’t have the job done
because they would have starved to death if there wasn’t enough food to eat.
Pandas
eat nearly just bamboo, nothing else. So what they did was to reforest bamboo,
protected the habitat and took great care of the animal.
Enjoy
reading and learning what it took to have saved this once endangered species.
