The Day After Tomorrow

Our Earth is getting warmer, I doubt that its capacity for heat is unlimited.

Being the major contributor for greenhouse gases, we obviously hold more responsibility to rectify the problems we have created. Our group had chosen to emphasise on the hazardous effects of environmental issues on the animals because animals are impeccably CUTE! Yeah! We're all animal-lovers! Apart from that, they do not deserve to suffer from our man-made causes (but sadly, imo, we do deserve it since we benefit from it). Some of the exotic animals are about to be extinct, while some ALREADY are. They are victimised. They are hurt. WE SHOULD SAVE'EM!



Giant Panda, the emblem of China a.k.a PANDA.


It is easily recognized by its large, distinctive black patches around the eyes, over the ears, and across its round body. The Giant Panda is a conservation reliant endangered species. According to the latest report, China has 239 Giant Pandas in captivity and another 27 living outside the country. It also estimated that around 1,590 pandas are currently living in the wild. However, a 2006 study, via DNA analysis, estimated that there might be as many as 2,000 to 3,000 Giant Pandas in the wild. Though reports show that the numbers of wild pandas are on the rise, the International Union for Conservation of Nature believes there is not enough certainty to remove the Giant Panda from the endangered animal list.




"Though the Giant Panda is often assumed to be docile, it has been known to attack humans, presumably out of irritation rather than predatory behavior." - Wikipedia.



In spite of being labelled as a carnivore, a normal panda has a diet of a herbivore. Oh, how gentle. So, save the panda!
