- Pandas are very cute, but they don't do much for their ecosystem-and they take away a lot of resources from other endangered plants and animals that support multitudes. Here's why these adorable creatures are possibly the most overrated animals in the world.

Actually, human beings are overrated.
Finally a voice of reason.
So three people who won't mind me killing them. Good to know
CrazyGermanM8ing Lol. It takes a special kind of stupidity to connect overrated with murder.
Love how being overrated triggered some people to go murderous. How did people even correlate murder with being overrated?
N337av G#o5h Honestly, I don't see how humand are overrated. Out of all the animals we are the smartest. Which has allowed us to make unimaginable technology compared to animals.
Harsh. Why dont we save their habitat rather than spend on captivities, atleast we not only protecting pandas but the rest of ecosystem
Buggeroff that was what the man in the video said at 4:40.
That would cost money, and pandas give money to China
Well...
China is literaly the country that justified it's pollution because "they are a country in developement" and shit like that...
They do not care.
I mean...
Their tigers are basicaly extinct because they used them in their weird and somewhat usefull medicine.
Instead of repopulating pandas in captivity, they should have done something similar to what certain chimp preservation centers in Africa did.
Buy a place that was already part of their ecosistem and...
Check thay they fucked in their protected but still natural habitat.
But then again.
This is china.
The country that only recently banned their infamous only 2 childs law because they realised that their peepees outnumbered their coochies...
😑🔫
Ikr. I can’t believe how some people actually say that pandas are overrated..like bruhhhh. They are just some animals living on earth.
Humans are damn selfish.

What do you mean wolves have little impact? You do realize that the release of several wolves into Yellowstone brought stability back to the ecosystem and even changed the course of an entire river?
Senna Taylor I thought the same when he said that, top predators are vital. I think he meant there are less important in comparison to other species that fit below in the alimentary chain. We only see bits of him talking, with more context maybe his points would be less missunderstood
Senna Taylor exactly!!!
I know!
Right. Maybe have more than one expert opinion.
I know. But I decided to keep quiet :/
well, the truth is, if the money is not spent on panda, it would most likely spent on anything but other endangered species. It's more about business and politics than saving animals.
It'll go to other conservation programs, cause the money is coming from the organizations behind the programs, not directly from the pockets and wallets of mustache twirling politicians.
Wild panda habitats do not only have Pandas but also many other endangered species , for example Snow Leopard, Golden Snub-Nosed Monkey, Chinese Forest Musk Deer, Grey-bellied Tragopan etc.
So conservation effort for Giant Panda also includes other endangered species in the nature reserves, public only thinking of Giant Panda but in reality China Forestry Department is looking at the whole eco-system in the nature reserves.
@@garymoh4828 Maybe they should quit polluting and cutting them down then.... Like buddy says, it's all a dog and pony show. They literally RENT out pandas to zoos to make a buck..
@@BrassBashers Do you know how many panda bases in China?
At least 14. And there are four large breeding centres out of the 14.
And all the nannies/keepers and researchers in these panda bases are university graduates with degrees related to animal.
And all adult panda must be housed individually with their own indoor enclosure & outdoor yard, with one graduate with a university degree related to animal to take care of just one adult panda.
And the captive population has reached 673 by Oct 2021, therefore all these panda bases need at least 650 university graduates just to take care of the adult pandas.
Then there is the panda nursery that need 24hrs care from nannies/keepers about 4~6 of them for 24hrs care.
Then there is the veterinarian group with doctorate degree that take care of the sick and elderly pandas that need special medical care & also doing medical research on panda.
Then there are 24 hrs security staff and housekeepers to keep the base clean and facilities maintenance staff to keep the base running smoothly.
Majority of these bases have no or have very little income from tourists except "Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding", because most of the other bases are all near the nature reserves and far away from the city, therefore they have very little income or none at all because some of them are not breeding centre.
Therefore don't assume some of those monies went into somebody's pocket.
For example I read that they might even want to release some Pandas into Jiangxi Province so to create another new wild population there, whereby Panda went extinct long time ago.
It has a nature reserve suitable for panda. After all, Panda in ancient time were found in the whole of Southern China and part of Northern China, Northern Vietnam and Northern Myanmar.
They have created a Giant Panda Re-Introduction base and probably three pandas, one male & two females could have been released.
I have no more update on this, but to have a genetic feasible population, I think "China Conservation and Research Centre for Giant Panda" could be releasing more than 10 genetic diverse pandas into that nature reserve in Jiangxi Province, so to create a sustainable genetically diverse panda population there.
Therefore, we can see most of the bases and activities need a lot of monies to keep them going and they are not money making projects.
@@BrassBashers Cutting down of forest are due to human population expansion through out millenniums, therefore it is not something recently.
For example panda were found in whole of Southern China & part of Northern China, Northern Vietnam and Northern Myanmar in ancient time, now they are found only in pockets of nature reserves in Sichuan, Gansu & Shaanxi provinces of China.
Then came the bamboo flowering in the 1980s that cut down more than half of the wild panda population to just above 1,000 wild pandas & till today, the wild population is yet to reach the number before the bamboo flowering in 1980s.
As I have already posted, "China Conservation and Research Centre for Giant Panda" is creating a new wild panda population in Jiangxi Province, in the future decades from now, we might see more such new panda populations in other provinces in China by releasing re-wild captive pandas into these nature reserves in other provinces. It may take decades to achieve a sizable new wild panda populations but at least it is going in the right direction for the Giant Panda.
2:20 As an ecologist i cant agree that ants hold more ecological values than charismatic animals. Elephants and wolves definitely hold ecological values on par to ants
Nakhyun Kim exactly. Elephants are keystone species that actually create ecosystems, as are apex predators.
I'm no expert but ants in huge numbers cultivates lands along with worms
JuicyWatermelone no they aren't.
This doesn't sound right, ants are absolutely vital to many eco systems. Without hands a whole variety of mammals would go extinct
Also they are mammals highly evolved, intellegent and hence much more important than any insect.
After 60 years of decline and failing conservation efforts, wild panda populations are now rising. There was much to learn about them. And the government had to get serious in preserving large enough chunks of habitat. Panda live in a unique blend of subtropical and cold mountain habitat. The plants and other animals there are unique and endangered, too. The Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries are a world heritage site. This shows what can be achieved. It did cost a lot of money. It achieved a lot. The world is a richer place with golden takins, snub-nosed monkeys, giant salamanders, bamboo rats, and pandas still around.
ANY PRECIOUS ANIMAL IS WORTH SAVING!!!!!!
But then again, we humans suck at conservation based on the video.
5 Star Mashups pandas aren't endangered anymore though.
The Gobi bear for example should take priority
Other animals are going extinct. It's not all about pandas ya know
The millions going to a few pandas can be spent on thousands of different types of insects, frogs and plants but nope we MUST save pandas because they are cute
5 star mashups lol I don't think that would work well with the budget we have for animals. What I think is the most important is saving the ones most important to the ecosystem and environment like species of bees or mangroves etc.
5 Star Mashups no, kill pandas
Don't hate the panda , hate the game. It ain't their fault if their only survival attribute is literally just being cute. 🐼
So don't blame the panda, blame the zoo that holds the captivity of the pands
Max Haibara
Pandas don't even bother to survive in the wild.
Max Haibara I agree
Nope pandas don't even want to survive
You didn't get the message of the video? It's not an assault on the pandas. It's a commentary on people's preferential treatment for pandas.
It’s the pandas habitat decline that’s responsible for their population decline, so it’s not the pandas, or the zoo’s fault.
I edited this comment so none of these replies make sense
Well thats just stupid
Exactly . All creatures on this planet have same rights .
Yes coz abortion is a crime. If abortion is a choice humans will not be overrated

@@afganjabrailov2472 Shh, you're completely destroying their argument.
I don't want to live in a world where pandas are no more. They don't hurt anyone.
So we shouldn't save humans either? I mean we dont really benefit the ecosystem... we destroy it.
Jorge Montenegro stop bring edgy. You aren't a panda, you are a human so act like it. We are the onoy species in the planet that are conservationalists, pandas don't care about you or your problems. Be we care about them.
Agree we should kill some humans lol
Wolfieowns that's wrong, there are factors that can harm an animal's ecosystem. Also we are part of the world too and just as much a right to be here.

Don’t forget, though that giant pandas are an “umbrella species” meaning that when their habitat is protected, so is the habitat for less known endangered species like snub-nosed monkeys and takins.
Simon Janevic but the habitat is not being protected. China is using the pandas to make money and continuing to destroy habitat

I honestly agree. People like them because they’re “cute”. But the thing is, there are so many animals that actually NEED help. So many species of frogs, birds, and other animals are nearly extinct, but everybody doesn’t care because pandas a “cooler”. And they get angry (like in the damn comments) that they aren’t overrated and crap. It’s so sad.
Yes
Also, if you want to present a better argument based on experts, bring in more people. I'm not listening to just one professor from a university that as far as I know doesn't even get involved with pandas. If it were me, instead of telling people to just give up on a species, I would encourage people to urge China's government to continue panda protection efforts, but to direct more of that funding to recovering lost habitat.
Senna Taylor very well said
Senna Taylor
1. China will not do so because
2. The more endangered the species is, the more valuable it is and which is
3. Controlled ENTIRELY by the Chinese government which well... Will sacrifice everything to make themselves the central power of the globe
Biologist here who worked on programms for the conservation of small mammals. What he's saying is mostly true. We should spend more money on other animals rather than on pandas.
He is not saying give up, he's is saying pandas shouldn't be the priority
YAS PANDY IS SMILING A LITTLE BIT KEEP ON GOING
I find it funny that the video says we when it's mostly China who's trying to save them. The only reason why the rest of the world bothers is because they don't want to offend China so really, what right do we have to decide whether they should be saved or not
So you're saying it's wrong for China to try and save pandas after they themselves fkced it up for the pandas?
@@zion2794 No, I'm saying that other countries don't really care because in the end it's China's own animal and is only native to their country.
@@raosei6496 well im not seeing conservation efforts anywhere else in the world. All the conservation centres are in china and the pandas that are elsewhere are just for attractions and entertainment.

no, it is only China who should be saving them because it is a species that is native to south China. Pandas dont exist naturally in any other part of the world.
Here’s some news for ya: We can save pandas and the rainforests at the same time!
It’s not like if we stop putting the effort into keeping pandas around all that money will suddenly go to save the trees and the ants.
Considering panda's cub are only be choosen 1 by their parents yet still had a chance to be stomped alive by them.
It's indeed unnecessary species to be alive.
@@bocahdongo7769 technically all big mammals are unnecessary species by now save for grazing herd animals that can be eaten.
@@bocahdongo7769 So, tell me again, why did they even evolved to eat bamboo 10 million year ago? If there is really an unnecessary species to have in this planet, it's humans, not pandas. We brought way more harm than help in this planet, including the making of this video. We brought several species into extinction, including the charismatic insular fauna like dodos, moas and giant tortoises.
my god let the pandas live. create video where you raise people's awareness of other animals instead of telling people that pandas are overrated.
alleysha • well said
pandas aren't endangered anymore though.
The Gobi bear for example should take priority
alleysha • #butthurt
alleysha • why should they? People are obsessed of pandas and there are too many videos out there discussing and showing pandas. They are just saying that let the money be used to conserve more essential and endangered species in the wild.
They are. They dont contribute much to their ecosystem. It's just a cash cow for the chinese
3:57 the Great Wall of China is nowhere near the natural habitat of Pandas.
Half of China stands between them
The Great Wall is not just one Wall do some research
bobi idk the nearest Great Wall is like a thousand miles away. This is a fake documentary
IKR
That image was choosen because it's a huge, internationally recognized Tourist destination. In these kinds of videos you want something called "B-Roll", which is just something to display for the viewer while you convey audio information. This "B-Roll" can be anywhere from completely unrelated to wholly relevant to the topic. This is somewhere in between unrelated and topical. It's supposed to be a quick shot to incorporate both China and Tourism in the viewers mind to reinforce the auditory information being relayed. It's not trying to say "You'll find Panda's crawling all around these cranes/buildings, logging machinery and the Great Wall".
this video is brought to you by the totally unbiased anti panda committee
This is kinda bias. Also I still LOVE pandas and will keep wanting to save them
That cause you dumb
Without panda, people wouldn't even notice other endangered species. That's how pandas work as a flag species.
People always said "we shouldn't spend so much on this", "we should spend more on that". NO, YOU WON'T.
Yes that’s right
No, without pandas, BILLIONS could have been spent saving others. In fact, Pandas are the hardest species to save due to how much of a niche they developed. Omnivores that ONLY eat plants.
You think people won't care, but all it takes is a movie as charming as kung fu panda to make people like LITERALLY ANY OTHER SPECIES.
@@alanwayne7643 You may have some misunderstandings about protecting species
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbrella_species
@@alanwayne7643 Protecting species has never been one after another but one for many.
Thus there are many flagship/keystone species which covers many other species while being protected.
Panda is a very fragile species, and protecting its wild breeding environment means that the living environment of a large number of other species is also protected.
And panda is attractive symbol. Without which less eyes would be gathered on protecting other species.
For example, you are not willing to invest more resources but to reduce investment in some species to protect other species. But panda increases total investment.
Pandas exist for a reason and it our job to make sure they dont die out

LagiNaLangAko23 they start this hardcore vegan trend first lol
Sabi Danae Pandas are killing themselves. They don’t have children unless they’re forced to and they can’t even digest bamboo properly, the one thing they ACTUALLY eat. They should’ve died out a long time ago but because they’re cute humans are saving them. It’s ridiculous.
the intro: “pandas are overrated”
me: “you’re overrated 😡”
“ONLY 5/7”, what ya mean by ONLY? it’s been 12 years since they were released in 2006. Pandas have a lifespan of 15-20 years in the wild.. that a pretty good survival rate to me
Pandas ARE NOT endangered anymore. We should focus more on other endangered species now! Every species of animal deserves to exist though. Pandas too. Even though they don't do much to the ecosystem.
China destroyed their habitat. We should not have zoos. Zoos encourage our inhumanity. No one should horde animals unless they are a sanctuary or rescue.
And China destroyed the pandas habitat to build polluting factories on. They have to make all the valueless crap the rest of the world just has to have.
Wesley P If we don’t force them go to zoo, they will be carried or disappoint. Pandas have a lot problems to live by themselves.
Make me extinct
Wesley P But there can be wild parks where they’re all free in their own little world where people can see it all. That”s much better than hoarding them in, and it’s fine for the animals.
Every species deserves saving but trapping them in cages is cruel.
I do agree that there are more animals that impact other species and environments.
All captive pandas are all descendants of rescued pandas in the past, there were massive bamboo flowering in 70s and 80s which caused most bamboo forests to die after that.
These will cause many wild pandas to die of starvation, most of today captive pandas are actually descendent of some of those rescued pandas of those natural disasters.
And once in awhile, some sick or injured wild pandas were rescued and became domesticated, therefore they will remain captive because they are too used to human and releasing them back to wild may cause problem to those untrained human that encounter them.
After captive panda population has reached more than 300, "China Conservation and Research Center for Giant Panda" has started the program to release re-wild captive pandas back to nature reserves whereby the panda population is small so to increase the number as well as genetic diversity to prevent the extinction of these small populations.
Around 14 re-wild pandas were released back to the wild in Sichuan Province (maybe more by now), and at least 3 re-wild pandas were released into Guanshan nature reserve in Jiangxi Province where wild panda went extinct a long time ago.
"China Conservation and Research Center for Giant Panda" will release more than 10 re-wild pandas into Guanshan nature reserve in Jiangxi Province so to artificially create a new wild panda population outside of Sichuan, Ganus & Shaanxi provinces where wild pandas are found.
What’s with all the dislikes?
Pandas are cute.
That’s all I see in pandas. They don’t seem to have much value in the ecosystem and scientific community.
They don’t mate in captivity and their digestive system + feeding habits are a disaster.
I'm confused. You're saying let them go extinct because they're "overrated" and difficult to raise in captivity? Or because they don't play a huge role in the eco-system? Seriously?
Also, at 4:38 where is this money coming from if not from Pandas? This video shows at 0:50 that they basically pay for themselves.
This is disgusting and filled with ignorance in so many levels.
in which way?
Desiigner is gonna be pissed.
Well, pandas attract more people to the zoo, that's a net gain in economy. Zoos are not actually losing money over this, they're making money. You have to strong economy to have spare to spend on saving other species. In that regard, pandas are actually helping
Your right about the pandas, but wolves effect environment greatly, as an apex predator, they control animals populations. Just look at Yellowstone.
aww, they are so cute! I want them back in wild :)(!
They are gonna get hunted though. There might be some illegal poachers
Audrey The Panda hunted for what?
Audrey The Panda the predators gonna have a buffet dont even talk about humans. they are evolution gone wrong
a kitten Yep, they're better in captivity. They'll just die in the wild.
a kitten I don't know. But there are crazy people who want to kill pandas for who knows what reason
Humans have a lot of room to talk about what's worth saving. We're destroying the earth and killing each other for no good reason. The earth, and regular animal kingdom, would get along fine without us; but because we're human, when we go, we're probably going to take everything with us. We're the ones who nearly caused the extinction of Pandas. So, yes, we should try to save them. We owe it to them.
I understand that pandas may not have much ecological value or surviving skills, but they are trying their best and they bring so much happiness to so many people and they deserve a chance at this.
That are definitely not trying their best
@@lazerfrogstudios They are special that cannot be denied
Being cute and making people happy is already a great value. Same thing applies to ball gamas and concerts. Football game creates nothing beneficial so we stop paying for tickets?
This is precisely why I do not support zoos
meerespflanzen I don’t like zoos rlly
Its the only way to view animals safely
Just go on a safari it's better and it doesn't hurt animals
Shining Cyndaquil, sanctuaries are way better! Sanctuaries don’t keep them in tiny cages!
remember circuses are worse than zoos
Here’s a small list of animals that should be saved.
Rhino
Elephants
Wolfs (certain)
Sharks
Etc
I totally agree with the guy. Pandas are cute but that doesn't mean other animals don't deserve the same protection and support. Pandas doesn't matter much to the ecosystem, so what good does it do to support them so much? entertain humans? Are you seriously willing to sacrifice 100 other species for a freaking Panda? all endangered animals deserve the same protection
Vincent Ivan Tanaya ????? Ummmmm most endangered species are doing FINE and growing in numbers?! The ONLY species that has died out is white rhinos and that wasn't even any humans fault. Pandas mean a great deal and no human deserves to say what should and what shouldn't die out.
LOL white rhinos? what the hell they aren't even extinct, also humans did cause tons of rhinos to die btw ever heard of poaching? I mean look at the black rhinos, they have been poached to near extinction and we caused it. Not humans' fault you got to be kidding me

Don’t think the way that panda is overrated, think they are the ambassador for all the endangering animals, use panda’s cuteness to attracting more people to deeply considering the environmental problems, and to protect all the animals around world
Maybe reconsider the title of this video. I nearly skipped passed it due to it being a bias and negative viewpoint that not many people would agree to but I decided to hear you out. I realised that the video was more focused on conservation efforts for minority species. All species deserve to be provided with sustainable conservation efforts as the majority of their population decline is due to human actions.
Yeah, they should consider an apology video instead, because why did Darwin even predict these type of people to live here on Earth anyways?
We should try to preserve more of nature, so different species have a chance to live their lives without being disrupted or destroyed. People don't need to send currency to donations just because a certain animal seems or looks cute rather people should donate to help the ecosystem improve and not try to give up.
the celebrity endangered species have an important role in helping reservation. umbrella species, thats what they are called. they help drawing more fund for animal reservation and raise awarness and public attention. also the construction and reserves dedicated to become their habitat also contribute to other endangered wild life reservation. if this channel and other americans dont want to pay for renting panda and create revenue for the zoo and reservation, thats totally your decision. but dont disrespect other country's effort to save an endergered species. we are not okay with panda dying out and resorting to some cartoon character for comfort
Oh great, it says 0 comments when theres a lot
So basically, humans are over rated, not pandas.
had to check if this wasn't posted on the 1st of april
Very interesting. I was going to go furious before the video even started but saving the habitats is more important than saving any individual species
"I mean, you know, it's a fact." Wtf really? This quotation is just one of the bad things about this video.
Every biologist(I have been trained and taught that in school for 4 years) knows it's essential to keep any species of animals or plants from being extinct. Whatever it takes. No species is overrated.
This video is outrageously bad.
Yeah, the funding for pandas are exaggerated but it doesn't mean you should sacrifice their survival for other "more important" species or causes such as habitat preservation.
There's a way to preserve pandas and other species and preserve habitat and that...is what this video failed to mention.
The Baker Guy yeah and he compared elephants to pandas... elephants are what is known as a keystone species so he is very wrong in that. It isn't a fact, it is a perception. Importance is pretty much always subjective.
The Baker Guy
The problem is pandas required a lot of money to keep alive. If those moneys are used in preserving environment to saved other species not just panda.
The Baker Guy with limited funding and wealth, sacrifices MUST be made no matter what
on the other hand, no panda means no donation. Who cares about endangered animals? People donate money because animals are cute.
M32C so sacrifice humans, then animal can reproduce naturally and no human can go hunt them, THE LAST EXTINCTION OF ANIMALS FROM NATURE is 65 MILLIONS YEARS AGO
I mean... The American Bald Eagle is overrated as well. Why are we still protecting it? And why did we spend millions of dollars to save it from extinction?
Elephants bro Elephants shape their environment by tearing down trees and creating watering holes for others and they create clearing for other animals. Elephants are important and wolves are apex predators
I love pandas so much
Everything is money these days
ashish parihar ashish parihar yeah, because money is currency, we need money to trade for food, water, and have a roof over our head, if everything’s free, then stores will go out of stock wayyyyy before you and I where born, in fact, everything will be taken and the rest will be homeless.
Because it’s a sort of trade. Instead of trading a ton of wood for a laptop, you can trade paper or digital currency for a laptop. And yes, that’s true, but everything relies on money because that’s what supports the economy. If there is no money, there would barely be an economy.
@@onewhomquestionlife2020 thats what he said. :/
It's been money since we left the goods and services age thousands of years ago

Leave my pandas alone. It is human intrusion of their natural habitat that makes almost makes them extinct
What do you mean, they exist because of us. They are so dumb they don't know how to mate and survive. They eat bamboo when it's not even the best diet for them it's like putting alcohol in a car.
What a mean thing to say!! If these pandas could read they'd be very upset!!!
All animals deserve to live if there peaceful

Hmmm... dark truth....
Z P humans are underrated. Edgy kids rate them too low whrn we are the most effective species to ever live.
Wolves are important. They keep the vegetation right by killing the deer and elk that eat the grass.
As humans, we have the intelligence and compassion to care about the survival of other species despite the fact that It truly is survival of the fittest in this world. You think other wild animals care what happens to humans and other species? No, they ultimately look and care about themselves.
Humans decide what animals will thrive and which ones do not and Pandas as well as dogs, cats and etc have all been chosen as the ones who will move forward. All the other species will continue to decline as the human population continues to grow and require more land. That’s just the way it is.
What??

Pandas literally can't even digest bamboo well, which is the one thing they eat. That's how bad at living pandas are. They took the completely wrong evolutionary path.
Pandas are a textbook example of evolutionary failure they legitimately cannot survive with or without human help and you dare to literally call humans overrated on a device so complicated no animal would ever be able to even conceive the very thought of the basic components of the device that you're using right now that a human was able to figure out and you call them overrated
Even if they're not as smart as us we're being so "smart" and ruining animal's environments, and yes, I do agree with your point about devices, but that still doesn't change the fact that we're not doing much too help the earth.
Wow...gold medal for the most depressing video I’ve ever seen
All These animals will not be endangered if not for us humans destroying the planet!
You agree with the guy. That's not all he said. What he basically said is "they get too much protection let them die they are useless" they are very important to ecosystem they control bamboo bamboo is fastest growing plant it will cause outbreak also what I learned in biology is that we should protect any endangered species everything is about money these days
Me and my girlfriend drove 6 hours to the San Diego zoo to see the pandas. They were also the only animals at the zoo which had a line, I mean a LONG line. Long life the pandas!
To say that different organisms hold different value in the conservation of an ecosystem is simply wrong. There’s more to it than that. Removing one seemingly less impactful species creates a chain reaction that cycles its way up the food chain destroying the entire ecosystem. Some species may play bigger roles in the ecosystem, but they are equally important to protect. A loss of either would be devastating.
This video is a great example of our ignorance.
everybody who disliked, should think about it.
You should do a video about sea turtles, they are the most endangered animal on Earth. And pretty underrated too. T^T
Love for turtles plzzzzzz! ❤️
No. They are not the most endangered. That’ll go to the vaquita or if where talking an entire species of animals It’d probably be rhinos.
What you do good for ecosystem???
Such videos should get banned.... Please let them live...
Every animal species have right to live on earth you have no right whom to save or whom to not!
#SHAME#
Hell yes !!!!!!!!! #SHAME #SaveThepandas!

Thank you, For making sense.
Well they need a poster child, or people are going to be less likely care about the mangroves. Pandas are crucial in that aspect
STILL IT IS A LIVING CREATURE AND IT IS SAD AND COLD HEARTED TO GIVE UP ON IT! ps I love Insider!
And how was this video supposed to change my mind?
Funny of you to assume that you're actually important enough for people to make a video just so you can change your mind this is for actual smart people with unbiased opinions who won't answer this video with "but I like pandas"
Pandas dont need your foreign zoos. Return them to China, they will be taken good care there with so much love! They are not overrated. You are!
As a biologist, the media and public perception towards environmental conservation is so biased. When we there are too much CO2, then we must plants more tree. Yes but the actual major things that help to fix the CO2 is the sea algae, which also helped by marine animals that bring down the carbon to the deep sea ( Carbon sinking ). Hence, saving the sea is equally, or perhaps more important than prioritizing tree planting.
Lmao did you seriously make a video to raise awareness that we should abandon pandas and letting them go instinct? This is stupid.
Well, considering China uses them as leverage and they basically suck at adapting to different conditions, yeah.
instinct
They're cute and fluffy to me that is enough
Thats like saying destroy humans they do nothing for the ecosystem.
To an extreme
There is also other animals and bugs that could be deemed “useless?” What about those?
WE SHOULD SAVE PANDAS! WE SHOULD SAVE ALL ANIMALS THAT ARE THREATENED OF EXTINCTION! WE SHOULD START CONSERVING THEIR HABITATS RATHER THAN SENDING THEM TO CAPTIVITY!
yes exept pandas
stop blaming the lovely animals. instead it's the humans that should take the blame. what did pandas ever do to you?
nirvaana mathi they waste resources
thy Mom gay well if only animals could think....they would probably say the exact same thing you did " god.. humans waste too many resources". but it's not anyone's right to decide whether the animals are worth living OR not.
nirvaana mathi humans are too intelligent, that's why we altered the food chain.
And why would the most diverse, the most intelligent animal would waste their precious resources on some useless animals that doesn't have any benefit to our ecosystem?
thy Mom gay as if humans are using the resources to the best. and nope pandas are not useless . at least they provide peace of mind to people who love them. so let's end the discussion here and not pretend that we've put our resources to the best use.
thy Mom gay so you want to live in a world without entertainment
