RED PANDA IN PERIL

The Red Panda is one of my favorite animals.  It looks nothing like the Giant Panda, but it is being hunted by poachers for its lustrous fur.  It is found in Myanmar and China.  The Chinese protect it adequately, but the Myanmar Government don't seem to be doing much about the situation.  The poachers use steel traps, disgusting tools.  The current population of Red Pandas in the wild is perhaps 2500.  Despite the fact that the Myanmar Government are not doing much for this beautiful animal, local inhabitants are making an effort to frustrate the poachers, but I suspect that theirs is a hard task.
