They live in tall bamboo forests and are one of the most endangered mammal species in the world.]]> 2020-09-16 00:02:33 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholasblakeway/u711ww2o7e876320/wish/749945244 nicholasblakeway https://padlet.com/nicholasblakeway/u711ww2o7e876320/wish/749955386 Red pandas take most of their energy from bamboo, but if that becomes limited, they would snack on roots, grass, insects, fruits, and occasionally if there is no food, will hunt and eat birds and small mammals.]]> 2020-09-16 00:08:48 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholasblakeway/u711ww2o7e876320/wish/749955386 nicholasblakeway https://padlet.com/nicholasblakeway/u711ww2o7e876320/wish/793143363 The Red Pandas were once a really popular animal, but that has been slowly going down due to humans. We humans have caused the Red Panda to go extinct in many ways. Some of those ways include deforestation, poaching, accidental trapping, and illegal pet trading.]]> 2020-09-30 22:21:47 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholasblakeway/u711ww2o7e876320/wish/793143363 nicholasblakeway https://padlet.com/nicholasblakeway/u711ww2o7e876320/wish/793149200 Due to the downfall of the red panda population, the red panda has been legally protected in many parts of Asia including India, Bhutan, China, Nepal and Myanmar. Their primary threats are habitat loss, degradation, human interference, and poaching.]]> 2020-09-30 22:26:32 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholasblakeway/u711ww2o7e876320/wish/793149200 nicholasblakeway https://padlet.com/nicholasblakeway/u711ww2o7e876320/wish/793153886 The reason I chose this current event is because when I was a kid, I loved to go to the zoo, and I´m pretty sure every kid liked going to the zoo, but I wanted to go every day. One day, my parents bought plane tickets to Asia because I have some family that lives there. While I was there, my family decided to take me to the zoo in Asia. There were animals I was familiar with and animals I have never seen in my life. But there was one animal that I loved to see, and that animal was the red panda. I was fascinated by everything about it. And that is why I chose this event, it´s because the red panda was everything to me as a kid. And now seeing that the population is less than 10,000, I am devastated.]]> 2020-09-30 22:30:23 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholasblakeway/u711ww2o7e876320/wish/793153886 nicholasblakeway https://padlet.com/nicholasblakeway/u711ww2o7e876320/wish/796553533 The red panda is important in many different ways, one of the things is that if the red panda becomes extinct, it would be that the ecosystem that the red pandas live in would become less biodiverse causing problems for animals in this ecosystem. Another important factor about the red panda is the food chain. Many predators depend on the red panda for food, so if the red panda became extinct, those animals would slowly die down in population and look for a new food source. Those are just two of the many reasons the red panda needs to be specially protected.]]> 2020-10-01 22:47:38 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholasblakeway/u711ww2o7e876320/wish/796553533 nicholasblakeway https://padlet.com/nicholasblakeway/u711ww2o7e876320/wish/796653977 We can save the red panda in many different ways. Some of those ways include protecting habitats by balancing development and improving habitat management. Reduce habitat degradation by planting bamboo, requiring tourist permits, restricting entry during the breeding season, reducing livestock that trampled undergrowth, and improving fire protection. Those are just some of the MANY ways we can save the red panda.]]> 2020-10-02 00:06:04 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholasblakeway/u711ww2o7e876320/wish/796653977 nicholasblakeway https://padlet.com/nicholasblakeway/u711ww2o7e876320/wish/796660264 2020-10-02 00:11:05 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholasblakeway/u711ww2o7e876320/wish/796660264 nicholasblakeway https://padlet.com/nicholasblakeway/u711ww2o7e876320/wish/796663419 2020-10-02 00:13:45 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholasblakeway/u711ww2o7e876320/wish/796663419 nicholasblakeway https://padlet.com/nicholasblakeway/u711ww2o7e876320/wish/796663819 2020-10-02 00:14:07 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholasblakeway/u711ww2o7e876320/wish/796663819 nicholasblakeway https://padlet.com/nicholasblakeway/u711ww2o7e876320/wish/796665138 2020-10-02 00:15:17 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholasblakeway/u711ww2o7e876320/wish/796665138 nicholasblakeway https://padlet.com/nicholasblakeway/u711ww2o7e876320/wish/796666842 2020-10-02 00:16:42 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholasblakeway/u711ww2o7e876320/wish/796666842
