Zoos and conservation organizations play a vital role in protecting pandas and other endangered species. They provide a safe and controlled environment for pandas to live and breed in captivity, while also conducting research and education programs to increase public awareness of the challenges facing these animals.

In addition, zoos and conservation organizations often work with local communities and governments to protect and restore panda habitats in the wild. They may provide funding and resources for conservation efforts, as well as working to reduce human-wildlife conflict and promote sustainable land use practices.
