The GIant Panda is Critically Endangered The icon of the World Wildlife Foundation (WWF), the panda bear (known as the Giant Panda) has reached critically endangered status. In fact recently, some have suggested that it is not worth our efforts to continue trying to revive the species. BBC naturalist, Chris Packham made this shocking statement to Radio Times Magazine: "Here's a species that, of its own accord, has gone down an evolutionary cul-de-sac. It's not a strong species. Unfortunately it's big and cute and it's a symbol of the WWF, and we pour millions of pounds into pandaconservation. I reckon we should pull the plug. Let them go, with a degree of dignity." Should we just let the species become extinct? What does that say about humankind as protector and defender of wildlife? The primary reason that giant pandas are dying out is due to loss of habitat. Pandas rely on bamboo for their primary source of nourishment, and the plant is slow-growing. In their native lands of southeast Asia (primarily China), industrialization has resulted in the clearing of large swaths of bamboo forests, which drive the panda bears farther and farther in search of food. Many die of starvation before they can get to the next forest.
