Monk Seal
Red Panda
This EAZA-EEP and Red Panda Network program works with “rangers” in throughout red pandas’ natural habitat to protect this species.
Starting date: 2015
End date: Ongoing
Location: Nepal
CONTEXT
This in-situ collaboration to protect red pandas is centered around working with “rangers” in the natural habitats in Nepal. A complimentary education and sensitization program is also established to educate the local population.
Different parks around the world, all members of EAZA, have got involved since 2015.
THREATS
The red panda is the greatest indicator of health subalpine forests. 25% of the red panda Nepali population live in one single forest which is not protected and is threatened by potential wood oil exploitation. This threat has fragmented red pandas’ population and has reduced their natural habitat.
OBJECTIVES
The Parques Reunidos Foundation participates in this EEP with an annual donation of 250€.
