SUMMARY:National Panda Day
DESCRIPTION:On March 16\, National Panda Day draws attention to one of the world’s unique bears. Pandas are also one of the world’s most endangered and adored animals. Conservationists and animal lovers alike spread the word about the increasing efforts of the international community dedicated to protecting and restoring habitats. \n\n\n \n#NationalPandaDay\nNative to China\, giant pandas are members of the Bear (Ursidae) family. Their rapidly shrinking habitat is a major cause for concern. As an endangered species\, successful panda breeding programs are rare. In the wild\, there are approximately only 1\,864 (according to the World Wide Fund for Nature) and 100 living in zoos around the world. \nWith their white face and black eyes and body\, panda bears are easily identifiable. However\, their black and white coloring was designed for their natural habitat. They disappear into the snowy mountains and temperate forests of southwest China. And despite their sweet disposition\, they tend to isolate themselves in the wild. They eat mostly plants and do not hibernate in the winter like many other bears. \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL PANDA DAY\n\nShare your love for pandas! You can do that by learning more about them and supporting panda sanctuaries.\nPromote ways to protect their shrinking habitat.\nSupport breeding and research programs.\nWatch a documentary about pandas.\n\nDirector Lu Chuan filmed Born in China. It follows not only a panda family but also golden savvy monkeys and the snow leopard.\nDrew Fellman and David Douglas direct Pandas. Researchers from the Chengdu Research Base for Giant Panda Breeding seek to take the program to a whole new level. Actress Kristen Bell narrates.\n\n\nUse #NationalPandaDay on social media.\n\nSource Link

A global organization of social workers comes together for social justice\, human rights\, and social development all through the promotion of best practices in social work. \n\n\n \n#WSWD\nSocial workers serve many roles in their communities.

They can also work in education\, teaching new social workers. \nWorld Social Work Day celebrates the achievements of social work globally and locally. It also recognizes the efforts of individuals who’ve chosen social work as a profession. \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE WORLD SOCIAL WORK DAY\n\nBe sure to give a shout-out to social workers in your community.\nIf you’re a social worker\, share your experience.\nAttend a job fair and encourage future social workers.\nIf you’re interested in becoming a social worker\, learn more about their educational path.\nTo find out more visit ifsw.org.\nAnd use #WSWD on all your social media posts throughout this day.\n\nSource Link
