The Red Panda
The red panda is found in the thick forests of the eastern Himalayas. Like the giant panda, it has black legs , but with its small ears , rusty red fur and it's bushy tail it looks more like a fox. However, it isn't closely related to either of them. In fact, red panda doesn't have any close relatives.
The red panda spends most of it's time alone sitting in trees eating bamboo and sleeping. This beautiful animal is an iconic symbol of the Himalayas, but sadly it is threatened by human activity. Although the red panda also eats insects, grass and grubs, 85% of it's diet is bamboo. So, when the bamboo forests are cut down by people for building houses and feeding lifestock, the red panda's main food source is desrtoyed.
Even worse, the red panda is hunted for its beautiful thick fur in a lot of countries. In particular, its striped tail is used to make traditional hats. There are now thought to be less than 10000 red pandas left in the wild. If we don't do something soon, it will be too late for them.
Urgent action is needed to stop the descruction of this rare animal's natural habitat and to bring and end to the practice of hunting them for their fur.
There are several things that you can do to help protect the red pandas from extinction.
Time is runnning out fot the red panda. Let's act now before it's too late.
