How to Help Pandas

Who doesn't love gazing at the adorable face of a panda bear? Unfortunately, the future of this species is in jeopardy due to the gradual destruction of their habitat as well as the threat of poachers. Here are some ways you can help save the pandas from becoming extinct.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Adopt a symbolic Panda.
   
   Go to the World Wildlife Fund website and make a small donation to adopt a Panda. When you make your donation, you'll receive a free adoption certificate and photo of your adopted Panda. There's even a link where you can tell a friend about your adoption.

2. Host a Panda party.
   
   Gather together a group of animal loving friends and host a help save the Pandas party. Provide your guests with refreshments and serve hot chocolate in Panda themed mugs. You can even buy a Panda party kit from Pandas International that contains Panda stickers, masks, postcards, and more. At the party, collect donations to save the pandas.

3. Wear a "Save Pandas" t-shirt.
   
   At Zazzle.com, you can buy t-shirts and coffee mugs with a panda saving theme. Simply type "Save the Pandas" into the search box and discover what's available.

4. Donate.
   
   Donate to organizations that help to protect endangered species such as World Wildlife Fund. You'll be making an invaluable contribution to the future of endangered animals such as the Panda.

5. Visit Pandas Are Precious.
   
   This is a website started by a child who wanted to help Pandas. Here he sells a variety of clothing items with hand created Panda art. Half of all proceeds go towards aiding the plight of the Panda.
