Eats Shoots and Leaves( 2011/02/28)
   There are many different types of bamboo, including woody, climbing and herbaceous varieties. Woody bamboo is found in Asia, in the forests of the Amazon and the Andes, and even in African cloud deserts. InAsia, giant and red pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca and Ailurus fulgens) depend on woody bamboo for a food source. An estimated 1,000 giant pandas still roam free; each munches its way through 38 kilograms of bamboo a day.
   There is no doubt that without bamboo there would be no pandas," says conservationist Andrew Laurie who works for the Global Environment Facility's project to conserve biodiversity in China’s wetlands. Deforestation also fragments the pandas' habitat, leading to small, isolated populations. These can become inbred and are likely to die out.
   Bamboo is also used as a food source.Bamboo shoots are used extensively in Asian cooking.Bamboo leaves are used to wrap Zongzi, a steamed dumpling popular in Southern China.Large bamboo stalks are also made into cooking pots and utensils.In China the bamboo is a symbol of longevity.In India the bamboo is a symbol of friendship.
   Bamboo is of course the main food source of the Giant Panda and the Red Panda. Each panda eats huge quantities of bamboo shoots, leaves and stalks. There is not a lot of nutrition in bamboo so they need to eat lots to get the nutrients they need.So bamboo is indeed a very valuable resource. It is environmentally friendly, cost efficient, durable, lightweight and strong.
