In Nepal’s cloud forests, lives the red panda—a species as mysterious as it is endangered. As habitat loss threatens their survival, protecting and restoring Himalayan forests matters more than ever. 🐾 youtu.be/X2FUguwTXk8?si=1P5d…

We call our monthly donors Panda Guardians 🙌 More than 700 passionate Panda Guardians support sustainable livelihoods for the people on the frontlines of red panda conservation 🛡️🐾 One of the programs they make possible is our Forest Guardian Program, which employs local people to patrol forests 🌳, monitor red panda populations, and collect critical data on habitat conditions. 🙏 Thanks to the incredible support of our monthly donors, we now have 156 Forest Guardians working across 13 project districts in Nepal! 📸 Forest Guardians like Ram Kumar Rai play a vital role in protecting the forests where red pandas live and helping ensure a future for this endangered species. They are Guardians—and you can be too.

Did you know red pandas are arboreal? 🌳🐾 That means they spend most of their lives in the trees—eating, resting, grooming, and staying safe from predators. In fact, red pandas usually only come down to the ground when absolutely necessary! 🤔 Can you think of some reasons a red panda might leave the safety of the trees? Learn more fun facts about this adorable tree-dweller! redpandanetwork.org/red-pand… #RedPanda #RedPandas #AnimalFacts #DidYouKnow #WildlifeFacts #Arboreal #TreeDweller #WildlifeConservation #SaveTheRedPanda #NatureLovers #EndangeredSpecies

We’re grateful for @PerthZoo's ongoing commitment to community-based red panda conservation. 🙏 🌱 Thanks to their generous support, we’re restoring critical red panda habitat in Nepal’s Jaubari region — reconnecting fragmented forests, supporting local communities, and protecting one of the world’s most endangered mammals. 🐾 🌳 Together, we’re planting native trees, expanding wildlife corridors, establishing forest nurseries, and investing in a future where both red pandas and people can thrive. 🫶 Partnerships like this show how global collaboration can create lasting impact for wildlife and communities alike. 🌏 #RedPanda #Conservation #HabitatRestoration #Nepal #PerthZoo #RedPandaNetwork #WildlifeConservation #RestoreNature #ThankfulThursday

“Participating in this training and producing rugs on my own has helped me earn income to pay rent and support my children’s education,” 🗣 shared a recent participant of one of our rug-weaving training for women in Nepal. 🐾 In many rural communities within red panda range, women face significant barriers to education, economic opportunity, and leadership roles while carrying a disproportionate share of household responsibilities. That’s why we’re committed to supporting sustainable livelihoods and advancing gender equality, while fostering red panda stewardship. We continue to offer valuable rug-weaving trainings to local women, where they learn loom setup, weaving techniques, design, and material selection—and receive weaving tools and thread to continue their work independently 🪡 🫶 You can support these women and help create alternative income opportunities by purchasing one of their handwoven rugs today. Stock is limited, so don’t wait! red-panda-network.myshopify.… #RedPanda #WomenEmpowerment #SustainableLivelihoods #CommunityConservation #Nepal #SupportArtisans #EthicalShopping #WildlifeConservation #Handwoven #EmpowerWomen

#PlantARedPandaHome is our urgent, community-based response to habitat loss—the greatest threat facing the original panda 🐾 ⚠️ As human populations grow and unsustainable land use expands, forests in Nepal are becoming fragmented and degraded. Habitat is being converted into pasture and farmland, while intensive grazing and forest resource extraction continue to place pressure on these fragile ecosystems. The result? Declining red panda populations and reduced genetic diversity for this endangered species and other wildlife that share their habitat. 📉 🙏 Thanks to incredible supporters like you—and conservation partners like @BlackpoolZoo (📸)—we are approaching 1 million trees planted as this national reforestation campaign continues to grow this national reforestation effort continues to grow 🌱 🌳 Learn more and take action to restore red panda habitat! redpandanetwork.org/plant-a-… #RedPanda #HabitatRestoration #BlackpoolZoo #Reforestation #PlantAHome #WildlifeConservation #CommunityConservation #ProtectWildlife #Nepal #EndangeredSpecies #ConservationInAction #ThankfulThursday

Protecting red pandas starts with understanding their habitat 🐾 In eastern Nepal’s Taplejung District, we recently established and re-marked 20 monitoring transects across five community forests—helping strengthen long-term monitoring of red panda presence, habitat conditions, and ecological change 🌿 This effort brought together nine Forest Guardians (including Sher Bahadur Limbu and Susan Limbu 📸), local stakeholders, and community members, combining scientific monitoring with valuable local knowledge of the landscape. By directly involving communities in maintaining these monitoring systems, we’re strengthening local stewardship and empowering frontline conservation leaders to help protect red panda habitat for generations to come 🙌 ⚠️ Support critical community-based red panda research! bit.ly/4wquhve #RedPanda #CommunityConservation #ForestGuardians #WildlifeConservation #Nepal #HabitatProtection #ConservationInAction #ProtectWildlife #SaveTheRedPanda
