Seeing Red - Saving Red Pandas

Secondary School (12-16 years)

With only around 2,500 Red Pandas left in the wild, these endangered animals face increasing threats from climate change and habitat loss. In India, a dedicated team is working to secure their future. Dr. Basavaraj Holeyachi and zoo biologist Pranita Gupta lead a captive breeding program aimed at reintroducing Red Pandas to their natural bamboo forests. The film follows the journey of young panda cubs growing up in a zoo before their release into the wild, where they must navigate dangers such as feral dogs and shrinking Himalayan forests. Their story highlights the urgent need for conservation efforts.
