BECOME A #TEAMPANDA TO SAVE OUR BELOVED EARTH
By: Natalia Trita Agnika
The arrival of Kung Fu Panda 3 has captivated the hearts of many movie lovers. Through funny scenes and captivating images, there are various messages for viewers of all ages. Po, the main character in this movie transforms from a student to a teacher. Po - the only panda in the previous Kung Fu Panda movie - this time discovers that there are many other pandas like him who live in a hidden village. He must train the panda villagers to dare to fight back in order to save the place they call home.
The many panda characters with various cuteness in this movie remind us of pandas, charismatic animals whose existence is protected. Slowly but surely, the panda population is increasing. After decades of conservation efforts by the Chinese government and supported by WWF, there are currently around 1,864 pandas in the wild. However, the existence of these pandas is threatened by the reduction of their habitat or place of residence.
WWF seeks to ensure the future of pandas by helping to protect their homes, which are vulnerable to various threats. One way it does this is by creating new protection areas and expanding existing ones. WWF is also working to connect bamboo forests so that isolated pandas can meet each other and breed.
All of these efforts are not just for the benefit of pandas. By protecting the panda's home, other animals in the same forest are also being saved. Protecting the forest where pandas live also means maintaining the availability of water for life because forests have an important role as a provider of water resources.
Along with the screening of Kung Fu Panda 3, WWF and DreamWorks Animation are joining forces to save the earth. Like Po who fights to become a Panda Warrior, we too can become a warrior to save the earth through Nature Guardian and join #TeamPanda.
Let's take action as #TeamPanda and fight together to save our beloved world. It's time for us to do more to create a harmonious life between nature and humans."If you only do what you can do, you'll never be better than what you are."- Master Shifu.
