Good Luck.
The giant panda is already on the endangered . The number of pandas in the world has been for decades. There are reasons for this. One is that many of the panda's forests have gone. They have been cut to make towns and cities. Another is the that the animal breeds very slowly and has few (baby pandas). The panda is now facing another big to its survival – a shortage of food. A new report shows that bamboo, the panda's food, is disappearing because of change. Bamboo is pretty much the only food the panda eats. Ninety-nine per cent of its diet is bamboo. An panda needs around 38 kilograms of bamboo every day.

The study that nearly all the bamboo in China's Qinling Mountains could disappear the end of this century because of global warming. That pandas would have nothing to eat. The study said: "Results suggest that almost the entire panda in the [Qinling] region may disappear by the end of the 21st century." The researchers said the only chance of the panda has is if they move higher the mountains. Scientist Jianguo Liu warned that we must start pandas now, saying: "It is tough, but I think there's still , if we take action now." Panda lovers are at this latest bad news. Panda expert Chang Leng said it was time for the world to up and help the panda.
