Conclusion: Part 2

Deforestation has a negative effect on red pandas. Based on my research deforestation leaves red pandas homeless, in search of food, and looking for a mate. Without a way to reproduce, without a place to live, and without food they are at high risk of extinction. I hypothesized that that if humans deforest a red panda inhabited area to much red pandas will eventually become extinct. This theory is accepted by many experts who specialize in red pandas. These experts include Tom Schermerhorn and Angela Glatston. These experts are extreamly qualifed to answer the red panda survey because of their scientific background. I emailed these experts a series of questions and statements. I then took the true or false answers from these statements:

  • Deforestation plays the largest role in the endangerment of the red panda.
  • Educating the natives about the species and it’s endangerment will decrease deforestation.
  • Educating other countries about recycling and ways to conserve wood and paper will increase Red Panda habitat.

The decrease in red panda population will negatively affect other species in the environment.

31% of 9 experts agree with the first statement. 27% of the 9 experts agree with the 4th statement. 17.2% of the nine experts believe the 3rd statement is true. 24.1% of the 9 experts agree with the 2nd statement. This data shows me that deforestation is a problem and there is little our communities can do to prevent it. Our governments need to start creating laws to protect our rainforest which house beautiful creatures including the red panda. It is our responsibility, as concerned citizens, to push the creation of these laws. In science we discussed the types of effects humans can have on the environment. Our class discussed the increase in deforestation around the world. I was intrigued to find out which animals were being greatly affected by mankind's reckless destruction. If I were to conduct another research project on the red panda I would like to research what effect the red pandas extinction would have on the surrounding ecosystem. This meaning the possible increase and decrease in other species population and what possible problems will evolve due to the population changes. Due to deforestation the red panda is an endangered animal that is in need of help to protect its habitat.

Inspiration

I was inspired to do this project on the red panda after our class descussed the negative affects humans have on the enviroment. This being deforestation. We know that we need trees yet we recklessly cut them down. I was curious to see what the status of other animals, like the red panda, was with the increase in deforestation.

Hypothesis

The red panda is at a high risk of extinction. This precious animals' habitat is being destroyed for human resources. Wood is at high demand all around the world and unfortunately this wood comes from trees that house the red panda. It is crucial to start to re-use wood that has already been harvested from the environment because this will decrease the amount of trees being chopped down. Without shelter red pandas will die. Educating people around the world about recycling wood will, in the opinions of some experts, significantly decrease deforestation.

If humans deforest a red panda inhabited area to much, then red pandas will eventually become extinct because they will no longer have shelter therefore possibly freezing to death and being prayed on by other species.
