Download or read book The Last Panda written by George B. Schaller and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1994-09-14 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dependent on a shrinking supply of bamboo, hunted mercilessly for its pelt, and hostage to profiteering schemes once in captivity, the panda is on the brink of extinction. Here, acclaimed naturalist George Schaller uses his great evocative powers, and the insight gained by four and a half years in the forests of the Wolong and Tangjiahe panda reserves, to document the plight of these mysterious creatures and to awaken the human compassion urgently needed to save them. "No scientist is better at letting the rest of us in on just how the natural world works; no poet sees the world with greater clarity or writes about it with more grace. . . . Anyone who genuinely cares for wildlife cannot help being grateful to Schaller—both for his efforts to understand the panda and for the candor with which he reports what has gone so badly wrong in the struggle to save it from extinction."—Geoffrey C. Ward, New York Times Book Review "Schaller's book is a unique mix of natural history and the politics of conservation, and it makes for compelling reading. . . . Having been in giant panda country myself, I found some of the descriptions of the animals and habitats breathtaking. Schaller describes the daily routines and personalities of the giant pandas he studied (as well as their fates thereafter) as though they were his blood relatives. . . . Schaller's brilliant presentation of the complexities of conservation makes his book a milestone for the conservation movement."—Devra G. Kleiman, Washington Post Book World "George Schaller's most soulful work, written in journal style with many asides about a creature who evolved only two to three million years ago (about the same time as humans). . . . Here, conservation biology confronts an evil that grinds against hope and shatters the planet's diversity. Written with hope."—Whole Earth Catalog "A nicely crafted blend of wildlife observation and political-cultural analysis. . . . The Last Panda is a sad chronicle of our failure, so far, to stem the decline of the animal that may be the most beloved on the planet."—Donald Dale Jackson, Smithsonian

Download or read book Bei Bei Goes Home: A Panda Story written by Cheryl Bardoe and published by Candlewick Press. This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In August 2015, zookeepers at the National Zoo in Washington, DC, were thrilled to spot a tiny shadow on an ultrasound. For a species as rare as the giant panda, every new cub is cause for celebration. Zoo staff monitored mother Mei Xiang, and within days a newborn appeared, weighing in at just one third of a pound. While Mei Xiang cradled her vulnerable infant, zookeepers monitored the pair day and night through cameras in the panda den, and some two million viewers logged on to the zoo website. First Ladies Michelle Obama and Peng Liyuan hosted a ceremony to announce the cub's name: Bei Bei, meaning "precious treasure" in Mandarin Chinese. An instant celebrity, the cub captured hearts all over the world. But pandas in zoos are considered emissaries from the People's Republic of China, the only country where they live in the wild. Four years after his birth in America, Bei Bei would embark on an important new mission."--

With an introduction by Susan Lumpkin, director of communications of Friends of the National Zoo, providing an overview of Tai Shan's life so far, these adorable color photos with corresponding captions feature Tai Shan's cutest moments -- snuggling with his mom, taking his first steps, lounging in his beloved tub, munching on bamboo, climbing trees, and frolicking in the snow. Given the media frenzy that has surrounded every move of the cub's young life, Panda Cam is sure to cause panda-monium among the millions of fans of this panda cub superstar.

Download or read book Red Panda written by Angela R. Glatston and published by William Andrew. This book was released on 2010-11-25 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Red Panda: Biology and Conservation of the First Panda provides a broad-based overview of the biology of the red panda, Ailurus fulgens. A carnivore that feeds almost entirely on vegetable material and is colored chestnut red, chocolate brown and cream rather than the expected black and white. This book gathers all the information that is available on the red panda both from the field and captivity as well as from cultural aspects, and attempts to answer that most fundamental of questions, "What is a red panda?" Scientists have long focused on the red panda's controversial taxonomy. Is it in fact an Old World procyonid, a very strange bear or simply a panda? All of these hypotheses are addressed in an attempt to classify a unique species and provide an in-depth look at the scientific and conservation-based issues urgently facing the red panda today. Red Panda not only presents an overview of the current state of our knowledge about this intriguing species but it is also intended to bring the red panda out of obscurity and into the spotlight of public attention. - Wide-ranging account of the red panda (Ailurus fulgens) covers all the information that is available on this species both in and ex situ - Discusses the status of the species in the wild, examines how human activities impact on their habitat, and develops projections to translate this in terms of overall panda numbers - Reports on status in the wild, looks at conservation issues and considers the future of this unique species - Includes contributions from long-standing red panda experts as well as those specializing in fields involving cutting-edge red panda research.

Book excerpt: “There’s nothing wrong with having another Panda in the house, just something wrong with having this other panda in the house,” says Panda after the arrival of MP. Where Panda is adventurous and foolhardy, MP is cautious and level-headed – as well as being bossy and interfering! But as time goes by, Panda begins to appreciate MP’s kindness and starts to rely on her whilst MP begins to admire Panda’s bravery and resourcefulness. Especially after Panda defends the family from aliens and sees off a challenge to his leadership of the toys by claiming to have – and demonstrating – magic powers. With the arrival of Christmas, Panda needs every ounce of ingenuity to secure the perfect present for MP. But once Christmas is over, their lives are turned upside down. Will Panda and MP finally acknowledge how they really feel about each other? Panda is an endearing and fun children’s story that follows Panda and MP as they go on a series of adventures and all without the humans in the house suspecting a thing!
