Giving wisely means knowing how your donations are used

Following the 2008 earthquake, Pandas International’s mission had to broaden: the pandas needed the staff, the staff needed the locals of Wolong and they all needed help and supplies.  The earthquake obviously damaged all the electrical equipment. Immediately following the earthquake, Pandas International provided:

• 6,000 pounds of medicines purchased in Northern China and shipped to Wolong
• 150 sleeping bags
• Bags of rice and dried vegetables
• 10 Dell Computers
• 1 Panasonic Copier
• 2 Brother Tel Copiers
• Two new incubators

Money from panda adoptions provides direct funds for the ongoing care at the Panda Centers. Adoptions through Pandas International are world wide including the USA, Australia, United Kingdom, Canada, China, and Malaysia.

Pandas International continually works to inform and educate the public regarding the preservation and propagation of the Giant Panda.  
           
Pandas International understands that the future of the panda is in the hands of the next generation and has learned that children make the best ambassadors for the pandas. The more children know about an endangered species, specifically pandas, the more likely they are to care about them now and as an adult.

Pandas International has been asked by the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda (CCRCGP) to spearhead a drive to replant the bamboo destroyed by the earthquake. The planting and harvesting will be done by local farmers who will benefit economically from the project. A recent study by the Chinese Academy of Science has found through the use of satellite images that in the specific area studied, 354 square kilometers, 23% of the panda's habitat was "converted to bare land." Lead author, Weihua Xu, also believes that "about 60% of the Giant Panda population was affected to some extent."

The CCRCGP scientists, with the aid of transferred, experienced Wolong farmers, will begin growing, transplanting, and caring for thousands of bamboo seedlings throughout areas near Gengda Town.  As the three species of bamboo mature and spread, both wild and captive Pandas will again have plentiful nourishment. The cost to replant on acre of bamboo is approximately $ 4,500.00 USD.
