Charitys Share From Shopping Raises Concern
Shopping has become virtuous, especially at this time of year. Buy a Better World scarf at American Eagle Outfitters, and the retailer says $10 of the $19.95 price will go to one of three charities. Buy or lease a BMW this month, and participating dealers say they will give $25 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Consumers these days can benefit a - Nonprofit experts question one of fastest-growing sectors of charitable giving, practice of building donation into shopping purchases; say that such giving is unregulated and, in most cases, unaccountable; in many cases, charities and their corporate partners are unwilling to discuss specifics of their embedded-giving programs; sometimes charities do not even know they are supposed to be receiving donations; experts say such loose arrangements mean that donors cannot be sure where their money is going; companies feel programs burnish their images and may help them sell more products; many charities believe programs make it easier for people to donate; some worry that embedded giving could eat away at larger, more direct charitable contributions because donors may feel that they are making donations quite often; photos (M) - By STEPHANIE STROM

What will happen if the red panda goes extinct?
What would happen to the red pandas habitat if the red panda goes extinct?
Answer: The current rate of extinctions is 1,000 times more than normal. Called the Holocene extinction event. The loss of the red panda, and indeed loss of much, much biodiversity on our planet has negative consequences overall in direct and indirect ways in terms of how fertile land is or climate and so on. How could the loss of biodiversity change the climate is more indirect as many trees in rainforests are chopped the rate of absorption of CO2 diminishes, and so on.
It is not really the loss of one individual species that kills us but the cumulative affect of losing numerous species.

What is the difference between a Red Panda and a regular Panda?
Is a red panda really red?
Answer: Red pandas have reddish fur. They are also smaller, so they are called lesser pandas. The black and white panda is called the giant panda. The giant panda has a stumpy tail, like the other bears to which they are closely related. The giant panda occupies a position at the base of the bear family tree, so they are a sort of primitive bear, with lots of modifications on the bear body plan to allow them to specialize on bamboo.
The lesser panda has a tail, and it looks more like a raccoon than a bear. The lesser panda is more closely related to raccoons, weasels and skunks than to the giant panda. The giant panda and the bears are more closely related to seals and sea lions than they are to the weasels, skunks, and lesser panda. It was once thought that the lesser and giant pandas are each other's closest relatives, but it turns out that they are only convergently similar because they both specialize on eating bamboo. The lesser panda is able to digest bamboo more efficiently than the giant panda, so it is more active and and it spends less time eating and sleeping.

Answer: Red pandas are great if for no other reason than that they show the link between pandas and raccoons and ringtails. They are a mysterious creature, that stays secluded from view most of them time, and managing to hide amidst green leaves even while being bright red is impressive.

What animal adaptations has the Red Panda undergone?, What traits help it survive in the wild?
What traits help the red pandas survive in the wild?
What animal adaptations has the red panda undergone?
-----If you dont know then can you please give me an example for answers for question 1 and 2 with a different animal. Please give me the name of the animal though. But I really want information on the Red Panda.
Answer: Red pandas belong to the order Carnivora, which would make one assume that they are carnivores (eat meat). However, they are primarily herbivores like their cousins the Giant Panda. They do supplement their bamboo diet with other things - bird eggs, small mammals, insects, berries, fruits, other plants - when it can get them. Eating a variety of foods is adaptive - the red pandas can still get energy and nutrients even if their preferred food is unavailable.
Like the Giant Panda, red pandas have developed a "thumb", however in giant pandas this thumb is used to hold bamboo so they can munch on it, whereas in the red panda it is used to get a better grip on the trees in which the red panda lives. This "thumb" has been a source of contention when examining the relationship between these two species - for a long time they were grouped together under the same genus, but recently the red panda was moved to its own genus and its own family - Ailuridae.

WCS Conservation Efforts
Dr. George Schaller began working for WCS in China’s Sichuan province in the early 1980s to study giant pandas. Some of that early work also included research on red pandas. Today, WCS continues to work in China, and runs education programs for schools in four provinces, including Sichuan. In Lao PDR, WCS is engaged in research, site-based conservation, and empowering local people to manage their natural resources. WCS is currently monitoring wildlife and threat indicators in the Nam Ha National Protected Area in Lao PDR to measure the success of those conservation programs. In 1993, WCS became the first international conservation non-governmental organization to start a program in Myanmar to increase the area of parks and reserves.

How much space, or territory does the red panda need?
How much space, or territory does the red panda need? Please, I really really need to know. Preferably by Friday, but anything before Tuesday works for me. Also, if you know about the Red Panda food web that would be great!
Answer: It's isn't that they need a lot of 'ground' territory, but they need trees. They are not very large, but could probably live in a smaller area as long as there were plenty of trees for them to climb.
They aren't very active in the day, but at night they can be pretty active. However, the activity amount (and therefore the area needed) varies with each animal b/c they are all different.
Its diet consists of about two-thirds bamboo, but they also eat berries, fruit, mushrooms, roots, acorns, lichen, grasses, and they are known to supplement their diet with young birds, fish, eggs, small rodents, and insects on occasion. In captivity, however, they will readily eat meat.
