WWF: Half of the world's wild pandas to be protected
Action update: Half of the world's wild pandas to be protected
China has committed to protecting more than 700 giant pandas in the Minshan mountain area - almost half the total number surviving in the wild. The commitment, made by the Sichuan and Gansu Provincial Governments, means the pandas will become an interconnected population, helping to ensure the future health and survival of this iconic species.
WWF International's Director General James P. Leape personally conveyed your messages of thanks to the Governor of Gansu Province and the Vice Governor of Sichuan Province. They were greatly impressed by the support from so many Passport holders around the world and expressed their willingness for further cooperation with WWF to enhance the ecological and biodiversity protection in their provinces.
