International Red Panda Day!
Let’s celebrate these adorable bamboo-munching ambassadors! 🐾
Did You Know?
- Red Pandas are native to the high forests of the Eastern Himalayas, including regions in Nepal, India, Bhutan, Myanmar, and China.
- Red Pandas primarily eat bamboo but also forage for insects, grubs, and even small mammals and birds.
- Red Pandas are excellent climbers and spend a lot of time in trees, using their sharp, semi-retractable claws and long tails for balance.
Their population has declined by 50% in the last 20 years due to habitat loss, poaching, and climate change.
Do You Want To Help?
You can explore more about the Red Panda at the Red Panda Network (RPN) https://redpandanetwork.org/ and how you can join their mission. RPN is a leading organization in red panda conservation. They focus on community-based conservation programs in Nepal, aiming to protect red panda habitats and educate local communities about the importance of conservation.
They also aim to restore more than 32 hectares of core red panda habitat by planting more than 30,000 native trees that have been identified as red panda food and shelter species.
