    Giant pandas live mainly in bamboo forests in the mountains of western China, where they subsist almost entirely on bamboo. They play an important role in these forests by spreading seeds and facilitating vegetation growth. However, pandas are threatened by habitat loss and hunting, and conservation groups like WWF are working to increase protected habitat areas and prevent poaching to help protect the species.
