Summary
In this article, the researchers found out about how the pandas can help other species just by preserving them, and stated that the giant pandas are the guardian of the other wildlife species, commonly known as "umbrella species". In other words, the researches found out that preserving the pandas habitat are also protects the other wildlife species that live within the pandas geographic range. The wildlife species are 70% of the country’s forest mammals, 70% of forest birds and 31% of forest amphibians that are only founded in China, locally. But, many other species outside the pandas ranges are not being protected by the pandas, there are about 14 of China’s endemic forest mammals, as well as 20 birds and 82 amphibians.
The researches found out that there are 10 suitable locations that can be improved or new the nature reserves to help enlarge the preservation to help many more species to live conveniently. But, it is not enough, China has many ecosystem and needed more umbrella species like the pandas. For example, the tigers can play role in the northern part of the country and the Snow leopard can play the same role in the grassland species. Many people doubted that preserving the pandas in China is not doing so well but they did not know that the pandas are living in their own native forests, guarding the other species habitats. The researchers concluded that after knowing all this information, they will create a proposal that can focus on what areas are they are going to protect or preserve in future because they want that other wildlife species can be an umbrella species and help other species as well. It will create a well balanced ecosystem to the environment.
Reflection
After I read the article, I was one of the people who adore pandas and those people who thinks that China is not doing so well in preserving the pandas, But, I learned that a panda that really does not do anything can be the guardian or the protector of the other species. I really like the word "umbrella species" because it really suits the term for the pandas or any other species that they are the umbrella and the ones from within they range, they protect them. I strongly agree to the proposal of the researchers that they should protect or preserve an area, for wildlife species live conveniently, making the ecosystem well balanced
