Every year, people around the world celebrate International Panda Day. This special day was started by the World Wide Fund (WWF). It is a time to learn about pandas and help protect them.
Pandas are called "living fossils (化石)" because they are very special animals. They have lived on the earth for over 8 million years. They are also China's national treasures. Pandas are famous for their black and white fur and their love for bamboo. In fact, pandas eat bamboo almost all day long. They need a lot of bamboo to get enough energy.
In the past, pandas were in great danger. There were only about 1, 100 pandas in the wild because of hunting and losing their homes. But now, thanks to many people's hard work, the number of pandas has increased. According to reports, the wild panda population has increased from about 1, 100 in 1988 to nearly 1, 900 in 2024, while the number of captive (圈养的) pandas worldwide has reached 728. They are no longer "endangered" but "vulnerable". This means they are still in danger, but things are getting better.
On International Panda Day, people do many things to celebrate. Some people visit zoos to see pandas up close. Others make art or take part in events to learn more about pandas. In 2024, in Hangzhou, there was even a big show of panda sculptures (雕像) to help people learn about protecting wildlife.
