Funds Raised Donated to The Red Panda Network
The Red Panda Network is committed to the conservation of wild red pandas and their habitat through the education and empowerment of local communities by adaptive community-based research, education, and carbon mitigation. Their efforts currently extend to 4 of the red panda home ranges in Nepal, India, Burma and China.
Red Panda Network is currently fundraising for a new Community Conservation Center that will empower the local community in Nepal to champion the protection of red panda habitat, one of the planet’s biodiversity hotspots!
Many species that are found within red panda habitat, including the clouded leopard, takins and rare assamese macaques langurs, will benefit from Red Panda Network’s ongoing habitat protection program.
**All funds raised during our Red Panda Spotlight on Species Weekend will go towards Red Panda Network’s mission.
