RPN mentioned in Animal Planet blog

"...I learned about the groundbreaking community-based conservation work of the Red Panda Network and RPN-Nepal. Executive Director Brian Williams has helped create a team of Nepali forest guardians that help protect the forests from poaching. The organizations also recently started offering ecotours (I went on one of the first) of eastern Nepal." See the article here >.

A big thanks to Emily and Henry Robinson

7-year-old Emily and 5-year-old Henry from the UK held a stall at Harlaxton Primary School to raise money for Red Panda Network. They made chocolate-covered fruit and marshmallows and sold out of all of them, raising enough money to adopt Sanju, one of our Red Pandas! Thanks to both for helping Red Pandas, and informing others about our cause.

World's cutest animal? You be the judge

"HOUSTON -- The Houston Zoo's cute factor will go up a few notches this weekend with the debut of Toby the red panda. Toby is being billed by the zoo as the "World's Cutest Animal." No pressure, kid. The furry creature looks like a cross between a raccoon and a bear.

The media got a sneak peak at Toby Thursday as he explored his new home in the Natural Encounters building. The area includes natural log climbing features, a small pool, a water fall, skylights and air conditioning. The public will get its first look at Toby on Sunday, March 29." Read more >
