Panda reserves are protected areas established to conserve the habitat of the giant panda, a vulnerable species native to China. These reserves provide a safe environment for pandas to live and reproduce, while also preserving the forests and bamboo they rely on for food. In addition to protecting pandas, these reserves often focus on research and education. They aim to raise awareness about the importance of biodiversity and the need for conservation efforts. Many reserves also engage in breeding programs to help increase the panda population and ensure their survival in the wild.
