My opinion
Main idea
Panda needs to be protected from extinction by the dangers from nature and people
The lives of pandas and the way we raise pandas
Summary
3 part
The Work Is Very Important
Life in the wild is hard for pandas no matter what
Sometimes they do not live very long or get hurt.
He is a scientist at the Hetaoping base. "If we don't help them, they will be extinct within the next 30 to 50 years. That's why we are training the captive-bred pandas for release."
Most cubs at Hetaoping live to be adults.
They are ready for release at 2 years old.
Pandas are sensitive animals
They spend much of their time eating a lot of bamboo.
They live alone in the mountains.
Pandas Need Special Training That Will Take Time
The bear's training did not prepare it for life in the wild.
At the time, Zhang said, trainers were mainly making things up as they went along.
"So he died."
"We used our human ideas on how to survive in the wild,"
From then on, Hetaoping researchers have tried to avoid human training and contact.
The pandas must first survive. Then they must reproduce and raise wild cubs. Those cubs must also survive and have cubs of their own. It is a long and hard road ahead.
Pandas Must Have A Safe Place To Live
The twins' mother was raised on the training base. She was protected there.
Protected land
Pandas need a safe home, or habitat.
China is working on making a huge park of protected land.
