ENDANGERED

SPECIES
Tanvi Agarwal
Mountainous regions of central China

 In this area, there are cool, wet bamboo forests

 The region has almost continual rainfall, temperate
summers reaching 26°
 Fauna that is known to live here include :
• The snow leopard
• White-lipped deer
• wild yak
• Tibetan gazelle FUN FACT: Giant Pandas represent YIN AND
• Giant Panda YAN
 PANDA
 The giant Panda is a species that
is found in mountainous region of
central china.
 The giant panda has been on the
endangered species list since
1990. The remaining population
of pandas is 2,500.
 The most significant threats to
pandas are habitat loss.
 They survive on bamboos which
are provided to them by their
habitat
Position in the tropic level
What is a tropic level?
 Each step in a food
chain is called a
trophic level. They are
the feeding positions of
all animals.
 There are 5 trophic
levels:
• Producers
• Primary consumers
• Secondary consumers
• Tertiary Consumers
• Apex Predators
Why should we try
and save Pandas?
 Pandas play a crucial role in
China's bamboo forests by
spreading seeds and helping the
vegetation to grow.
 This way they support many
animals that need Bamboo for
survival. (circled in blue)
 They also provide food to many
species such as the snow leopard
and Jackal (circled in red)
What is being done to save Pandas?

 In the 1940s, the Chinese government made an effort to

protect the Giant Pandas.
 Reserves were created to protect gaint Pandas
 Today there are approximately 40 panda reserves across
Southwestern China. 
 Purpose of the Panda Reserves
• Protect the forest and bamboos for the Giant Panda
• Patrol the reserves to prevent poaching and logging
• Patrol the reserves to search for sick or injured Giant Pandas
CONTINUATION

 Organizations such as WWF are

encouraging and helping in
protecting the Pandas.
 WWF’s main role in China is to
assist and influence conservation
decisions through information
collection and demonstration of
conservation approaches.
 The giant panda protection
program celebrated a small
victory in September of 2016 and
the mammal was officially moved
from the IUCN’s Red List of
“endangered species” to
“vulnerable species.”

projects have been a success the annihilation of innocent animals.
What can we do to protect pandas

 Stop wasting papers- Bamboos are being cut down to make

papers and pandas are loosing their natural habitat
 Reduce Travel Impact-Climate change endangers animal
species. If you travel on transports that emit greenhouse
gasses, you contribute to global warming
 Offset Carbon Emissions-Carbon offsets are available to
compensate for the greenhouse gas emissions from
traveling.
