Topic Reading-Vol.1835-4/20/2017

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Saving China's pandas
Do you have any idea many Giant Pandas there are in the world?
There are a little over 1,800 pandas in the wild and about 450 in captivity. Thanks to China’s continuous and determined efforts, Panda’s population has been increasing, and the Giant Panda is no longer on the endangered species list.
So far so good. But will the population keep increasing in the future especially in the wild while pressures mount to develop surrounding areas where they live now? Since captive pandas are treated like first-class passengers around the clock throughout the year, they might be too spoiled to live wild life themselves. Their playful acts draw human eyes and minds so much but such cuteness is meaningless or even volatile in the wild.
Enjoy seeing the photos and think if those captive pandas return to and survive in the wild.
