Scientists say there (be) now fewer than 2,000 pandas living in the forests. Another 300 or so live in zoos or research centers China and other countries. Pandas do not have many (baby), maybe only one every two years. The babies often die from illnesses and do not live very long. Adult pandas spend more than 12 hours day eating about 10 kilos of bamboo. Many years ago, there are a lot more forests and pandas in China, but then humans started to cut down (this) forests. As the forests become smaller other human activities cause more problems, pandas cannot find enough to eat.
An education program in Chengdu (teach) children about pandas and other endangered wild animals. They send people to schools to tell children about the (important) of saving these animals. And the Chinese government is trying hard to help save the pandas. Scientists are doing research (understand) the habits of pandas. We all hope that there will be a lot (many) pandas in the future.
