The giant panda is one of the most popular animals in the world. A giant panda can grow to be 1.5 metres tall and weigh up to 150 kg. People think the giant panda is very lovely. So it is not surprising that the World Wide Fund for Nature chose the giant panda as its symbol. The WWF tells people that giant pandas are in danger and raises money to save them.
The giant pandas only live in China. There are fewer than 1, 600 giant pandas left in the wild. The main reason why pandas are endangered is that the area where pandas can live has become smaller.
The WWF works to help giant pandas in the wild in many ways. One of the ways that help them is to increase the size of panda reserves. Some reserves need to be joined together by planting bamboo between them to make "corridors（通道）". These are paths that lead from one reserve to another. No one may harm the pandas in these areas. The corridors let pandas move from one habitat（栖息地） to another to look for food.
People are working very hard to make sure the giant pandas do not die out.
