Good afternoon.  Welcome to the Humans and Wildlife Podcast. Today, we're going
to share stories about the efforts to save the giant panda.

The giant panda isn't just a national treasure in China. With its unusual black and white coat, it is loved around the world. For example, the logo of the WWF——the World Wildlife Fund, one of the world's leading organizations in wild life conservation——is a giant panda. Bing Dwen Dwen, the official mascot of the 2022 Winter Olympics, is another famous panda.

Until 2016, the giant panda was on the Endangered Species List. In 1980, there were only around 1,114 giant pandas in China. However, after decades of conservation efforts, the wild panda population is finally growing again. Now, there are about1,870 pandas in the country. China’s conservation programme has been an amazing success. There is now hope for the giant panda.

Over the past few decades, scientists have tried to save the giant panda from dying out. There are three main ways of doing this. The first way is to protect the home of the giant panda. Many panda reserves have been set up. In 2021, the Giant Panda National Park was founded. The second way is to bring pandas to breeding centres to make sure they have babies. When the baby pandas grow up, scientists set them free in the forest. The third way is for the government to make laws to protect pandas.The growing number of giant pandas in the wild shows that these different ways have worked very well.

Although the situation is better than before, giant pandas still face many dangers,mostly due to climate change. So, we need to continue to protect them.

   下午好，欢迎来到《人类与野生动物播客》。今天，我们要分享一些关于拯救大熊猫的故事。

   大熊猫不仅仅是中国的国宝，它也因独特的黑白相间的皮毛深受全世界的喜爱。比如，世界自然基金会(WWF)的标志一一这是一个世界领先的野生动物保护组织一一是一只大熊猫。2022年冬奥会的官方吉祥物冰墩墩是另一只著名的熊猫。

   直到2016年，大熊猫还被列入濒危物种名单。1980年，中国只有大约1114只大熊猫，然而，在几十年的努力保护之后，野生大熊猫的数量终于又开始增长。现在，中国大约有1870只大熊猫。中国的保护计划取得了惊人的成功，大熊猫现在有希望了。

   在过去的几十年里，科学家们一直在努力拯救大熊猫，以防止它们灭绝。主要有三个方法，第一个方法是保护大熊猫的家园，现在已经建立了许多熊猫保护区，2021年，大熊猫国家公园成立。第二个方法是把大熊猫带到繁育中心，确保它们能繁衍后代。当熊猫宝宝长大后，科学家们会把它们放回森林。第三个方法是政府制定法律来保护大熊猫，野外大熊猫数量的增长表明这些不同的方法很有效。

   尽管情况比以前好多了，但大熊猫仍然面临许多危险，大多数归咎于气候变化，所以，我们需要继续保护它们。
