Panda Protectors

Leila, a 3rd grader from California, decided quite on her own to raise money at her school to help Pandas. She stayed with it for a few months until school ended and plans on doing it again in a bigger way next year! She was particularly moved by something she saw about how with Panda twins the mother often picks one and the other doesn't have much chance. She feels she's helping the Panda twin that doesn't get picked!
For my 13th birthday I had a party where I invited my friends to make their gift to me in the form of a donation to be sent to Pandas International. Here are the reasons I chose Pandas and your organization.

  • There are only 1800 Giant Pandas left in the world. It’s sad that the Pandas are disappearing because they are so cute!
  • I chose Pandas International as the recipient of our donations because your total focus is to support the preservation of Giant Pandas. It is important that our donation go directly to the Pandas. While other organizations support Pandas, they support other causes too.
  • Everyone can make a difference in the world, but it only happens if you choose action.

    I have great friends! They all supported this cause that is important to me and we are donating $202.00 to Pandas International so that you can SAVE THE PANDAS!

    Thank you!!

Art Show Benefits Pandas
Last fall, Amelia from Minnesota, made clay animals and sold them at a community wide art show. Her adorable animals raised $370.00 for the pandas that Amelia loves so much. Not only did she raise much needed funding to protect the pandas and their habitat but she also raised awareness in her community by sharing her knowledge and love of the pandas!

Our hats go off to Amelia!

Alexa of MA has been a year round fundraiser for the benefit of the Pandas that she loves so much.

She has done school projects on the Giant Panda raising awareness of the challenges that the pandas are facing and everyone at Pandas International wants to recognize Alexa as a true Panda Protector and send her our most sincere thanks.

Well done, Alexa!
Young Jamie is bearing up for the pandas

SCARBOROUGH: MORE than 100 sets of panda eyes watch over Scarborough youngster Jamie Beckwith in his bedroom.

His love for the endangered animal is obvious, but he has taken his passion further by fundraising for Pandas International.

At the age of seven, Jamie is the youngest child in Australia to be collecting for the Pennies 4 Pandas appeal and so far has raised almost $1000.

The money will help buy incubators and formula for baby pandas in China and replenish a bamboo plantation.
Jamie’s mother Lisa Beckwith said his love for the animal started from the age of two, when he got his first toy panda.

She said Humpybong State School, where Jamie is in year 2, has embraced his desire to help the pandas.
He has been allowed to present his appeal to students and money collection boxes have been stationed in classrooms.

Jamie hopes to become a veterinarian.
