Recommendation
The threat of the Giant Panda is humans intruding in their homes. Hunters usually hunt on mountains, and they scare the pandas out of their homes so less survive. Pandas homes have been cleared for agriculture, timber and firewood, to meet the needs of the large and growing human population. Its possible for a panda to get caught in a wildfire or a flood around their homes. You can protect a Giant Panda by no illegal hunting, cut less wood, hunt less, and make sure there are no wildlife where you hunt at. Save the Giant Pandas!
