I always think of panda's when talking/reading about endangered species. They likely receive an incredible amount of funding and effort to save the species. I wonder if the goal is to save the national symbol rather than to save the species.
- patio11 11y agoA useful phrase to know if you want to read up on this topic: "charismatic megafauna." It is well-discussed in the literature.
- giarc 11y agoInteresting, summed up nicely in this line from the wiki page "By directing public attention to the diminishing numbers of giant panda due to habitat loss, for example, conservation groups can raise support for the protection of the panda and for the entire ecosystem of which it is a part." With the last few words being key. Thanks for letting me know about that topic.
