I have come to the conclusion that ulitmately the survival or extinction of an endangered species is on the shoulders of humanity. How sad is it when it is our own responsibility, as the human race, for the life or death of another living creature? We become so selfish in our own desires and material possessions that we become more worried about our hair color and when our next pedicure is scheduled. It is superficial thoughts and actions of all humanity, including myself, that ultimately endanger the precious animals that inhabit this earth.
It is animals such as the Giant Panda that come under attack from actions of humans. Great strides have been made within the last few years in an effort to conserve the Giant Panda. They inhabit many areas throughout China, but more specifically they live within the mountain ranges of central China. However, the Giant Panda's habitat is becoming less and less dense. The reason for this is mainly due to farming, forest clearing, and other developments caused by the human race. I came across a website, that gives any and every information about the Giant Panda and its involvement within the World Wildlife Federation.

The giant panda is listed as endangered in the World Conservation Union's (IUCN's) Red List of Threatened Animals. There are about 1,600 left in the wild. More than 160 pandas live in zoos and breeding centers around the world, mostly in China. Hopefully the Giant Panda never has to reach a state of extinction, and unfortunately their status in this world relies on us.
I agree 100%
