World Wildlife Panda Campaign

April 27th, 2009 by Jordan

First I need to give credit to the photographer of this photo…Paranoramix’s Flickr photostream can be found here. This is an effort by the WWF to increase awareness for the giant pandas and their declining population. There were 1600 paper mache pandas used, to signify how many giant pandas are left. Above is a picture of Lyon, France. They have also been to the Piazza Del Popolo in Rome, and I believe they are planning more stops before the poor paper pandas go for sale on eBay. On a side note, the World Wildlife Fund website kind of made me want to poke myself. No article about this campaign could be located using their search or google’s search. It’s an attractive site, I just found it extremely hard to get the information I wanted. Anyways, GO GIANT PANDAS!
