them like they’re my own babies. I wash, feed
and play with them every day. They’re very

Pandas do not have many babies, maybe only
one every two years. The babies often die from
illnesses and do not live very long.Adult pandas spend more than 12 hours a day
eating about 10 kilos of bamboo. Many years
ago, there were a lot more bamboo forests and
pandas in China, but then humans started to cut
down the forests. Scientists say there are now
fewer than 2,000 pandas living in the remaining
forests. Another 200 or so live in zoos or
research centers in China and other countries.An education program in Chengdu teaches
children in cities about pandas and other
endangered animals. They send people to
schools to tell children about the importance
of saving these animals. The children sing
songs or make artwork about pandas and
other wild animals. Teaching children is one
way to help save pandas. The Chinesegovernment is also
planting more bamboo
trees so there will be
more forests for
pandas to live in. We
