For over 50 years, the giant panda has been the globe's most beloved conservation icon.
Knowing that the panda is now a step further from extinction is an exciting moment for
everyone committed to conserving the world's wildlife and their habitats.
- Marco Lambertini, WWF Director General
Welcome to Animal Facts.
In a welcome piece of good news for the world's threatened wildlife, the giant panda, as of
September 2016, has been downgraded from 'Endangered' to 'Vulnerable' on the global list of
species at risk of extinction, demonstrating how an integrated approach can help save Earth's
vanishing biodiversity.
Today, we discuss this great news.
Let's get started.
10.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) announced the positive change
to the giant panda's official status in the Red List of Threatened Species, pointing
to a 17% rise in the population in the decade up to 2014, when a nationwide census found
1,864 giant pandas in the wild in China.
9.
WWF's panda logo was designed by the organisation's founding chairman, the naturalist and painter
Sir Peter Scott in 1961.
Twenty years later, World Wildlife Fund became the first international organisation to work
in China.
Ever since, WWF has been working with the government on initiatives to save giant pandas
and their habitat, including helping to establish an integrated network of giant panda reserves
and wildlife corridors to connect isolated panda populations.
8.
There are about 20 different species of bamboo that pandas will eat.
However bamboo is so nutritionally poor that the pandas have to consume up to 45 pounds
each day, which can take up to 16 hours.
7.
The Chinese once hunted Panda believing that its pelt provided magical protection against
evil spirits.
Today, thanks to conservation efforts, hunting Panda carries strict penalties in China.
6.
The main cause of the panda's decline is the erosion of its habitat, due to the clearing
of areas for crop cultivation.
Another reason is the natural die-back of the local variety of bamboo.
The panda will not migrate to feed in new areas, because it is hemmed in by human settlements,
and so it frequently starves to death.
5.
Giant pandas are only about the size of a stick of butter at birth, and they're hairless
and helpless.
The panda mother gives great care to her tiny cub, usually cradling it in one paw and holding
it close to her chest.
For several days after birth, the mother does not leave the den, not even to eat or drink!
4.
Are Pandas Bears?
There was some confusion about this for a while.
Scientists put living things in groups to help us organize what we know about the millions
of species on Earth.
Not everything fits neatly into the groups scientists have created.
For a long time, scientists weren't sure if giant pandas were bears or perhaps more
closely related to raccoons.
Now we know that giant pandas are indeed members of the bear family.
Scientists have used DNA to find out that the giant panda is more closely related to
the other bears than to the raccoons.
Giant pandas are in the family Ursidae with the seven other bear species.
3.
Panda's pooh points in their direction of travel, so they can be easily tracked in the
wild.
Unfortunately, historically this led to them being more endangered, but now it aids researchers.
2.
Fossils of pandas were found that were between 1 and 2 million years old.
Pandas were once widely distributed across the whole of China.
Now they only live in the wild in remote areas of China's Tibetan foothills.
1.
It's not all good news.
While the panda's status has improved, other species are under increasing threat, including
the Eastern gorilla that is now listed as critically endangered, just one step away
from extinction, due primarily to poaching.
Well, there you have it.
Some great news for one of the most widely recognizable and iconic species to grace this
planet.
And for this, we are truly grateful and hopeful for future efforts.

Wrangler Front Rollbar Paracord Grab Handles with D-rings - Black (2007-2016 JK) Review & Install - Duration: 5:08.
Hi, I'm Dave for extremeterrain.com, and this is my review and installation video for our
set of front seat...we do have rear seat available.
Grab handles made out of paracord for 2007 to 2016 JKs and the D-rings are also included.
I give these a one out of three wrenches on our insulation rating guide because they are
not even really an installation.
It's going to be a simple application.
You're going to be able to pop them on in about five minutes or so, and in fact, we'll
show you how to make that happen coming up in just a minute.
Let's face it, most passenger cars actually have built in grab handles.
Wranglers don't come with those installed, so usually an aftermarket solution is what
we're looking for.
And this is certainly a good one because not only are they very easy to pop onto the roll
bar but they're made out of paracord.
And I like that, not only for the look or the aesthetics which is something that I value
on my Wrangler but also just in case that you are ever in any sort of an emergency situation,
you know that paracord is used in survival kits, people make bracelets out of them in
case you ever needed a length of rope to make a lean-to, a tent, or something along those
lines.
It's an emergency application that is built in, but if you ever had to use it, you're
not gonna have your grab handles anymore.
So keep that in mind.
These are certainly grab handles that are meant to give you a place to hang onto to
get in and out of your Wrangler, but it does have the very slight added bonus of being
made out of paracord in case you ever find yourself in a situation that you might need
it.
Like I mentioned, this is made out of paracord, and in fact, it's one of the most durable
and popular rankings of paracord because it does fall into that 550 test.
So this is going to be strong enough to help you to build a tent if necessary if you ever
needed to take these grab handles apart or to be able to hang food from a tree.
Now, again, I'm just mentioning that because it is a nice thing to maybe have on hand inside
of your Wrangler but mostly, that paracord is going to give you some good durability,
some flexibility, and a nice, strong place to either hang your hand when you're off-roading
or to be able to help yourself when you need to get into a rig whether it's vertically
challenged, or you've made yourself vertically challenged, by jacking up your rig so high.
These handles, again, I want to remind you, are available for the front seat, so a pair,
or you can get a set of four.
So the installation on these grab handles could not be any easier.
You're basically going to take them.
You see the loops that are right here, and you're going to undo the included D-link,
and then you put one loop on, put the link right back into the ring.
Then, you do the exact same thing on the other side, position it where you want it to go.
You will find that this fits the roll bar nice and snug but not so snug that you can't
customize it to your own placement choice.
The fact that these go on in less than five minutes is one of the reasons I gave it a
one out of three wrenches on our difficulty to install meter and it will take you less
than five minutes to apply these.
If you've been shopping around for a solution to basically have a little more comfort when
off-roading...so you've been looking for grab handles, you've probably seen a lot of choices
out there in a lot of different materials.
So one of the things that I like about this particular pair is the fact that they are
made out of that paracord that we've talked so much about in this video.
I think it looks cool, and I love the fact that I've got a little bit of an emergency
paracord handy if I ever needed it.
You will find some grab handles that are out there that are gonna be less money and then
you're gonna find some that are a lot more expensive.
It's really gonna be up to you to decide what kind of look and what kind of functionality
that you would like to have.
Let's face it, a grab handle is gonna work the same for virtually anybody who's grabbing
a hold of it.
It probably gets down more to the fact of look, what you prefer, and if you like the
idea of having these made out of paracord just to have that safety feature built in
if you ever needed it.
So if you've been looking for a solution to getting in and out of your Wrangler for whatever
reason, or when you're off-roading just to be able to have a place that's more comfortable
to hang on to, because, let's face it.
You hit some holes, you're going over some boulders, it's nice to be able to have an
extra hand especially if you're a passenger.
This is going to be a nice solution and could be the right one for you.
I'm Dave, and that is my review of our Paracord Grab Handles with D-rings for JKs 2007 and
up, and you can check them out on extremeterrain.com.

Skype Counseling Therapy 1 - Duration: 2:24.
Welcome! If you are suffering from
anxiety or struggling with depression or
with an addiction they might consider
Skype counseling therapy. I have been
offering Skype counseling therapy for
many years now and in my experience as
a psychotherapist it is just as effective
as meeting the client in person.
There's really no difference in the
quality of therapy as long as you can
see each other, which of course is made
possible by Skype. If you are interested
in learning more about Skype counseling
therapy, do please go to my website and
then EMAIL ME and we can schedule a
Skype counseling session at a time that
works for you.
This approach is very effective indeed
for people who want to take charge of
their emotional recovery process and who
want to avoid the medical approach and
medications, which are often not really
appropriate, let alone needed, for
managing anxiety and depression.
What is most important to overcome these
emotional habits is to learn how to
change the underlying psychological
process that causes your anxiety or
depression or addiction, and this is best
done by psychotherapy, where you're
actually looking at the process of
reactive thinking that is creating your
anxiety or depression. Medications will
not do that.
So, if you're interested in learning more
about Skype counseling therapy and how
it can help
you, please contact me by email and then
we can schedule a Skype counseling
session. Thank you!
