Endangered means we have time — Extinction is forever.


Pandas International are fighting for more time…

Hello, my name is Ellie, and thank you for visiting my Blog. I am supporting a charity called Pandas International. This is a non-profit organisation that isn’t supported by any government- this means it relies on the public for donations. In this blog I will hope to:
  • Raise awareness for this charity,
  • Tell you everything they have done,
  • Change your views,
  • Possibly persuade you to donate to this charity.
In this image you can see the work pandas international and how much it affects the pandas life, The Giant Panda, one of the most delightful and captivating of animals, is also one of the most endangered. The best scientific estimates place the number of wild pandas at approximately 1,600.

In 1999, after a trip to China and the Wolong Panda Centre, the sight and plight of the Giant Panda made such a dramatic impression on Suzanne Braden and Diane Rees that upon returning to the United States, they co-founded Pandas International to help save this magnificent animal. Do you really want your grandkids to say ‘What is a panda?’



To support this charity, you can do one of many things. You can simply donate to the charity or buy things from them, there is also a book called ‘the Scared Panda’ profits from this book go to my charity. Finally you can simply look at what you buy, make sure paper is made from recycled old paper and card, look after the environment because that is our job- no matter where you live or what you do, You Can Help

You may be thinking ‘why should I care?’ the truth is mankind did this to the Pandas, now it is our time to fix it. We can’t just brush it under the carpet- it won’t go away unless we make a difference now. Please visit my pressure groups website to find out more direct ways to help this charity

  1. 1) No, i haven't heard of this charity before; i am surprised as they make such a difference.
    2) Yes, definitely, i had no idea what they were before.
    3) I would support in any way i could, i would definitely contribute to fundraising event if they were nearby.
    4) If i had known about the group before, then you wouldnt have changed my opinion as i would always be for this charity, but, seeing as i didn't know anything about the group, you did change my opinion as i wasn't aware of them and so didn't know how close to extinction pandas are.
