Please Help Red Pandas

Please help save red pandas from disappearing forever. Please support Fauna & Flora International today.

These fascinating creatures are one-of-a-kind, and they are on the edge of extinction.

Despite sharing their name with the popular giant panda, the two species are not closely related. Red pandas are the only remaining members of their family, making them a truly special and unique animal. But this family could soon be lost for good.

Their numbers have been slashed. With fewer than 10,000 individuals now left, they are now listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List.

Red pandas desperately need your help.

Illegal logging, hunting, and the illegal pet trade are putting immense pressure on this species and their homes. The loss of their homes, and the bamboo that makes up 95% of their diet, is pushing the red panda towards extinction.

But there’s still hope. We can work together to save red pandas and their habitat. Your donation can make a real difference by providing essential training and equipment for local community wardens and supporting indigenous groups in establishing protected areas for red pandas.

So please, donate now and be the hero red pandas need.

In response to the critical situation facing red pandas, FFI have been working tirelessly in Myanmar’s Imawbum Massif since 2012. This region is a hotspot for these endangered animals and supports some of the highest levels of biodiversity in the eastern Himalayas, including several other threatened species like the Asiatic black bear, takin, and a unique pheasant known as Blyth’s tragopan.

Our efforts have seen great success – FFI biologists have captured incredible footage of wild red pandas in the region, and even discovered a new species, the Myanmar snub-nosed monkey.

Working alongside local indigenous Law Waw and Lisu communities, FFI has established a community-managed no-hunting zone where red pandas can flourish. By employing local community rangers, we have seen a significant decline in hunting activity in the area.

Thanks to your support, FFI have played a key role in designating a national park covering over 380,000 hectares of remote forest, where some of the last remaining red pandas live. This important step provides legal protection for the species and could help to stop loggers from entering Myanmar, reducing the threats facing this adorable animal.

Your generous support could make all the difference in helping to save the remarkable red panda. So please, make a donation today and help ensure red pandas have a future. Thank you.
