Restoring The Bamboo Forests

The future of the Giant panda is interwoven with the Chinese people. New advances in environmentally responsible farming, high yield crops to reduce logging, and population control efforts will all help the Giant Pandas.

The Chinese Government has several projects for reforesting hillsides, protecting grasslands and nature reserves for the Giant Pandas. There are also plans to pay farmers to turn cropland back to forest and to establish commercial tree farms to replace logging. A replanting project to restore the bamboo damaged in the 2008 earthquake is currently underway in the Sichuan Province. (Source: Pandas International)
