What Can Studbook Data Reveal About Effects of Climate on Neonatal Survival and Seasonality in Births / Frank Princée Red pandas are endangered. Their forest homes are being cut down, and poachers hunt them for their fur. And their adorableness might put them in more danger, since they’re ideal targets for the illegal pet trade. Tilly’s adventure is filled with awe and wonder at being in a new place and having a truly unique experience. Like all exciting adventures, there are challenges and bumps along the way and friendships are made alongside memories that will last a lifetime. Tilly’s excitement at spotting rare animals in the wild and riding a yak are lovely and her heartbreak at witnessing a red panda caught in a trap is a sad and all to real occurrence.

My little girl loves Red Pandas so this was always going to capture her interest. It's a steady read that charts Tilly's Red Panda mission when she wins the chance to go on an expedition in Nepal to find Red Pandas – finally some adventure in her life! I loved the way she charts her objectives along the way and the obstacles that might stop her achieving them - it's a great way for kids to see solution focused thinking in action. There's highs and lows on the mission and lots to learn too. My daughter said 'she thought it was great and loved the Red Pandas' and we've been finding out more about them since.

The red panda encounter is an amazing one-to-one experience lasting between 30 and 40 minutes which will leave you grinning from ear to ear (we also have an option for two participants). A great story with cute little drawing to accompany it. It tells the story of Tilly who's gone on a visit to Nipel on a school trip to volunteer and help at a Red Panda Rescue centre. She learnt how to find the pandas, replant bamboo, look put for poacher traps and much more.Red Panda: Biology and Conservation of the First Panda, Second Edition, provides the most up-to-date research, data, and conservation solutions for the red pandas, Ailurus species.

The Status, Distribution and Conservation of Red Panda Ailurus fulgens in Bhutan / Letro Letro, Tandin Tandin, Sonam Wangdi, Thinley Wangdi, Pema Dendup and Joanne Millar In my classroom I could see doing an activity where the kids write books about themselves or "kids like me" or maybe even other things that they just can't find books about. I also think there could be lots of great conversations about own voices books and how authors can tell stories and share their own perspectives, like Red was able to do with her book. The Impact of Climate Change on Extant Ailurids / Lauren Michelle Lyon, T. Andrew Joyner and Steven C. Wallace

Red Panda Husbandry for Reproductive Management / Angela Glatston, Katherine Whitehouse-Tedd, Mark Farnworth and Sarah Spooner Red Panda Genomics and the Evidence for Two Species / Fuwen Wei, Yibo Hu, Arjun Thapa and Zejun ZhangWritten by long-standing red panda experts as well as those specializing in fields involving cutting-edge red panda research Reports on status in the wild, looks at conservation issues and considers the future of this unique species When eight-year-old Tilly wins the Adventure Club competition at her new school, she’s thrilled to be travelling to Nepal! She and the other Adventure Club winners, Leo and Anita, will learn how to protect red pandas in their natural habitat.

Red pandas are considered endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, the organization that determines the conservation status of plant and animal species. While no one knows the exact number of animals in the wild, a 2015 estimate put the population at 10,000, a 50 percent drop since 1997. What I found most appealing about this book was its environmental lessons - there's a real place for stories that explore our responsibility to our planet. The animal care and Tilly's wish to continue this work after the mission is lovely and inspired us too.

Only thing that made me laugh and got me questioning was one of their planes they travelled on was powered by leaves....is this possible? If so thats very cool. Which is really the point of the book. I learned lots of things about Red Pandas that I did not know which reinforced the fact that we need inclusive books. Books that tell us all about every type of person. And that reflect different people - not just one sort. So the book teaches a valuable lesson on the importance of being able to find books where you can see yourself - and learn about other people, also. And it does it in a fun and educational way. I promise you will learn new things about red pandas! And gain a bit of empathy along the way. Red and Gee are pals and enjoy doing panda things together, but when they read a book about pandas they make a terrible discovery. There are no red pandas in the book! The illustrations capture all of Red's many moods and Gee's friendly support. Everyone needs a pal who will take them out for bamboo bubble tea when they are having a bad day. And if you can also find a friend to illustrate your book for you, bonus! So Red sets out to write her own book, where she and other red pandas can see themselves. It is hard and frustrating and it doesn't seem good enough. But when others discover her abandoned manuscript, they clamor for it to be finished. Maybe the world is ready for red panda representation after all.
