Giant Panda

By the invitation of the Chinese government, WWF is the first international protection organization to operate in China. The main role of WWF in China is to support and influence policy-level protection decisions through information gathering, demonstration of protection methods, communication and capacity building.

WWF has helped the Chinese government to provide national protection programs for huge pandas and their habitats. Thanks to this program, the Panda Reserve now covers more than 8 million acres of forest.

The WWF logo was inspired by Chi-Chi (a giant panda living in the London Zoo in 1961 and the World Wildlife Fund the same year). The founder of WWF is aware of the need for strong and recognizable symbols to overcome all language barriers. They agree that animal like this fur like big fur would have attractive black eyes and be a good choice.

The first panda sketch was completed by British environmentalist and artist Gerald Waterson. Based on this, Sir Peter Scott, one of the founder of WWF, and world famous environmentalists and artists painted their first logo.

The logo design has evolved over the past 40 years, but the unique features of the giant panda remain an important part of WWF's precious and clear mark. Today, WWF trademarks are regarded as a universal symbol of protection movement.

WWF is the first protection group invited to study giant pandas in China. It is believed that there are still less than 1,600 giant pandas in the wild. WWF uses advanced technologies such as DNA research to support the nationwide investigation of the giant panda, which is useful for tracking giant pandas at mountain habitats in remote areas. Many of the species in this study exist in mountain bamboo groves in the upper stream of the Yangtze River basin in southwest China. This unique river, lake, wetlands and mountain forests spread beyond the center of China for thousands of miles and are rich in biodiversity and wildlife. In this fertile watershed, food, housing, fresh water, and living are offered to millions of people.

The only remaining panda habitat is on the eastern end of the mountainous areas of Western China, Sichuan Province, Shaanxi Province, Gansu Province. The giant panda lives mainly in Sichuan Province (so the name is "Giant Panda Land"). Giant panda usually live in bamboo forest. To protect huge panda habitat, China has over 50 nature reserves. Foping Nature Reserve is wet all year round and is suitable for giant panda 55% of the forest is the main food of bamboo and giant panda. Many giant pandas live in this protected area of ​​350 square kilometers (140 square miles), approximately one kilometer with an area of ​​2.5 kilometers. It is very possible to cross a panda. At the time of writing, the reserves are not open to travelers.

Giant panda is a member of Ursidae family and belongs to Carnivora. Carnivorous food usually eats meat, but huge panda specializes in herbivorous food for bamboo. The giant panda usually holds a short, typical monogastric carnivorous digestive system and there is no special compartment to hold food or symbiotic bacteria to break down bamboo into cellulose available nutrients . Because the giant panda can not digest cellulose and lacks the symbiotic bacteria necessary to digest bamboo, they are eaten first, then on the contents of the cells going through the bamboo without changing I have to rely on the Lord.
