Why is the giant panda called the giant panda?
Beacuse these pandas are larger than the red pandas. So to distinguish them from red pandas scientists used the word giant in front of panda. Now it became in common use.
And obviously because it grows larger than others so it is Giant.

=) Save The Pandas !!
Humans must stop wrecking their habitats, and give them more land that can connect the fragmented forests, so they will have pathways from one safe reserve to others. If the people would give them the extra land planted with bamboo and then stay away from them, that would help! Also, we could make a petition for people to help find illegal Giant Panda poachers, and punish them to the fullest extent of the law!
Is the giant panda facing extinction?
Yes, though it is currently considered a conservation reliant endangered species. There are currently a few hundred in zoos around the world, and only a couple thousand at most in the wild. Their numbers may be rising currently, but they are still not enough to classify as vulnerable.
If we can't save the pandas, we can't save the world.
Why is the giant panda in danger of extinction?
Giant Pandas are endangered primarily from habitat loss and from the fact that they have a very low birthrate. China has put increasing pressure on their habitat in the last century from population growth and land use changes. Also, they have traditionally been poached, primarily for their fur and skin.

Why save giant panda?
We should save the Giant panda because it is important to the chinese culture. It is China's national treasure and national symbol.
True, but what about the last China-based animal to go extint, the Yangze river dolphin? It was a big peice of pink fat with pig eyes, nothing anybody would buy if it was on a t-shirt. So, if it's not cute and cuddly, no one wants to save it. And they are spending so much money on saving the pandas. They have spent so much money, they could of just bought it's habatat as a wildlife perserve. So, lets save other animals and save trees at the same time by supporting the cause to not cut down Bamboo.

How can I help save pandas from extinction?
Preventing extinction:
- stop hunting
- stop pollution
- stop destroying habitats
- be environmentally friendly
- inform others
- don't litter
- recycle
- volunteer to help
- zoos are raising funds for panda research and preservation
- adopt a panda
Pandas are becoming extinct for a few reasons, but they all come down to one factor- humans. Because of industrialization, much of the panda's only food, bamboo, is being destroyed. As people move in, pandas are forced to move out, and into tighter and tighter areas. Because the Giant Panda is only found in China, the area the panda has is already limited. Even though China is a huge country, there are going to be limitations no matter what, regarding space and resources. But as the amount of land and resources the pandas live off of becomes limited due to the activities of humans, the more pandas are competing for food, shelter, and territory. And when a panda doesn't have enough access to these key factors for survival, it will die.
Pandas are also being hunted for their valuable fur. Poachers that want to make a profit off of these animals will kill a great number of pandas every year, making the threat of extinction even greater for these animals. Pandas do not have offspring very often, and when they do, they usually only have one at a time. This means that the pandas killed by poachers are not being replaced by a sufficient number of panda cubs.
We can protect these creatures from extinction by raising awareness about these animals. In order to save pandas, or any other seriously endangered animal, people need to know about the growing need for action against the dangers to the animals. Scientists continue to research panda bears to try and understand them better, which may aid in saving the animals later on. Certain organizations are helping to support the research and conservation of the pandas. Zoos worldwide are attempting to raise pandas in captivity to raise the panda population.
Hope that helps!
