Once there were lots of pandas in the mountains of Western China. Today they are
becoming extinct. The reason is they cannot find enough food. Pandas eat bamboo leaves. They do
not like another food. The bamboo grows very slowly. It can take ten years for a bamboo to grow
from a seed to a big plant. Some types of bamboo have seeds only once every 60 years. Pandas
must wait many years for their food to grow. While the bamboo is growing, pandas do not have
enough leaves to eat. Farmers are using more and more of the land on the mountain side to grow
food for man. The farmers cut down the bamboo. Bamboo leaves become less plentiful. Pandas
cannot find enough food to eat. They starve and die. China and World Wildlife Fund (WWF) are
trying to save the pandas. In 1979 they began to set up special parks where pandas can live. One
such park is the Wolong Reserve in Sichuan. The Wolong Reserve has the highest number of
pandas in the world. Scientists come here to study the pandas’ eating and mating habits. By
