Last week the giant panda bear was considered to be not endangered according to the international body of species protection. The giant panda populations in the wild have risen steadily by 17% since 2014, when there was 1,850 giant pandas found in the wild in China. This success has come from the decrease in the poaching market and the increase of natural protected habitats for the pandas. China now has sixty-seven panda reservations, which are similar to U.S. state parks. The hard work that has been put in for thirty years has finally paid off. Pandas are still going to be watched and looked after by the amazing staff in China.

Now, here is some sad news. There is a new species that will soon be added to the endangered list. It is actually the first bee species that will be considered in the United States.

The rusty bumble bee is a major contribute the the nations food services and with out them our food supply will decrease. About 87% of the bees population has declined in the recent years. There are some attributes that can cause the rusty patched bees to decline in population such as climate change, farming, and pesticides.

In London there are two street artists who are trying to spread the word about the dwindling bee population. The bumble bee is a major friend in our world. Louis Masai Michel and his friend Jim Vision are tagging walls with different quotes like "Save the Bees! No Bees, No Food!" and "When We Go, We're Taking You All With Us!"
