* Donate to a conservation organization that works to protect pandas. Some reputable organizations include the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and the Giant Panda Conservation Foundation.
* Reduce your energy consumption. Burning fossil fuels contributes to climate change, which is a major threat to pandas' habitat. You can reduce your energy consumption by turning off lights when you leave a room, unplugging appliances when you're not using them, and using public transportation or walking instead of driving whenever possible.
* Adopt a panda. Many conservation organizations offer symbolic panda adoptions. When you adopt a panda, you're not only helping to support the organization's conservation efforts, but you're also raising awareness about the threats pandas face.
* Eat less meat. Meat production is a leading cause of deforestation, which destroys panda habitat. By eating less meat, you can help reduce the demand for deforestation and protect pandas.
* Speak out for pandas. Talk to your friends and family about the importance of panda conservation. Write letters to your elected officials and ask them to support policies that protect pandas and their habitat.
