August 16,2001- Don't forget to e-mail me with your suggestions and comments!!!!
August 3,2001- Okay, guys, I can't stress enough how important it is for each and every one of you to get involved! If every person who visits this site contacts just one of their local government officals and lets them know that the citizens want something done to help save the pandas... and then contacts one of their friends and has them do the same... goverment officials all over the world would be be forced to realize that they have to take action! That's what the government is supposed to be there for... to meet the needs and demands of citizens. Demand that they help that pandas!!!!!
May 21, 2001- Here are some links to pages where you can buff up on your giant panda knowledge:

I will continue to follow up on all of this and keep you posted, feel free to do the same!
May 14, 2001- KIDS: I'm sure most of you guys go to school, right? Even if you don't you probably at least have a friend who does. Lets get some schools involved! If there is a science or environmental club at your school, go to them first. If not, go to a teacher or principal. Start a school-wide letter writing campaign. There's a link above to the website where you can find contact information for you local government officials. Write to them and let them know that you're concerned about the giant pandas. Ask them what is being done to help save the pandas; and what they think you can do. Make them think about the issue! The more people we can get involved the better!!
