There are twice as many giant pandas as before．
The giant panda is one of the world’s most endangered animals．In fact，it is known all over the world as the symbol of the World Wildlife Fund(WWF)，an international organization that protects endangered animals．
Here is some good news：the number of giant pandas—China’s most famous animal—is increasing．The latest facts show that there are now about 1，600 giant pandas living in the wild．This is twice as many as before．Much of this success is because of the environmental organizations like the WWF．
At the Giant Panda Breeding and Research Base in Chengdu，scientists work hard to find ways to look after these special animals．85% of the world’s giant pandas live in the southwestern hills and mountains of China．Bamboo forests also grow here．The research center has been built on the edge of these forests．Its main object is to increase the number of giant pandas．As these young giant pandas grow up，they are taught the necessary skills bamboo forests to live a normal life．
A giant panda eats as much as 20 kilos of food per day and spends between 12 and 16 hours eating．So for this program to be successful，more forests that are suitable as habitats for giant pandas must be found．In April of 2000，about 23，000 square kilometers of forest was chosen in Sichuan，Shanxi and Gansu Provinces．And five new areas have been named as nature reserves in the Qinling Mountains．There are now more than 40 areas that protect giant pandas：37 more than 15 years ago．Still，everyone must continue to work hard to protect one of China’s most important national treasures—the giant panda．

Zhalong is a nature reserve in Heilongjiang in northeast China. It is one of the world’s most important wetlands. The area provides food and shelter for wildlife. It is an ideal home for different kinds of plants, fish and birds.
Many birds live comfortably in Zhalong Nature Reserve all year round, while some only stay for a short time. There are many fish in the wetlands, and the birds can easily catch them for food. Zhalong Nature Reserve is an important living area for the rare red-crowned cranes. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world. Some of them live in Zhalong.
Some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means that there will be less and less space for wildlife.
More and more birds are in danger because they do not have enough living space. Many of them died. The Chinese government wants to protect these endangered birds, and they can be safe in Zhalong.
Every year a lot of tourists go to Zhalong to watch birds. This year members of our Bird watching Club are going to study the different kinds of birds in Zhalong and the changes in their numbers. The study begins next month.
We do a bird count once a year. We are now inviting secondary school students to help. We need more people to help us count and do something to help the birds. Many people do not understand the importance of the wetlands. We hope this information will help them understand and make them actively take action to protect wildlife.
