Who doesn’t love a panda?
The mission of Pandas International, a non profit organization based in Littleton, CO, is to ensure the preservation and propagation of the endangered Giant Panda by providing public awareness and education, research funding, habitat preservation and enhancement, and assistance to the China Conservation & Research Centers for the Giant Panda.
Some of the activities of Pandas International include providing supplies and medical equipment to Chinese panda reserves, educating the public about the plight of the Giant Panda, and raising money to replant bamboo destroyed by the 2008 earthquake.
I am a lifelong Panda fan, and have contributed to Pandas International for several years. The first time I saw a live panda, at the San Diego Zoo, I cried because it was so beautiful.
