International Red Panda Day

Red pandas are native to the eastern Himalayas and southwestern China, where they live in high-altitude temperate forests with bamboo understory. They face threats from deforestation, fragmentation, and degradation of their forest home, as well as from hunting for their fur and body parts, and also vulnerable to diseases and parasites and have low reproductive rates. Help them by donating to organisations such as The Red Panda Network, an organization that works to conserve the red panda and its habitat in Nepal and other countries.
