This is the third in my "Can I Live Here Too" series...a baby panda bear...These are such beautiful special beings...its not fair at all what is happening to them...It is estimated that there are somewhere around 700 and 1,000 giant pandas still alive in the wild. Because they rely on bamboo as their main food they will remain in danger unless their habitat is expanded. The differing varieties of bamboo go through periodic die-offs as part of their renewal cycle. Without the ability to move into new areas that have not been affected many Pandas will starve to death. When die-offs occur the bears that do try to find a new place to feed often run into farmers and poachers. As with all in this series 50% of any and all proceeds go to the WSPA in my attempt to help....please help open people's eyes and show them how to love....
