Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
My Aerobatic Wingwalking Flight is a hair-raising way to help raise awareness of the plight of the red pandas and the destruction of their natural habitat, whilst raising funds to support the work of the Red Panda Network.
Follow my progress for news and updates on my Facebook page @awfs2021
The global red panda population has declined by 50% over
the last 20 years and there may be as few as 2,500 remaining in the wild.
Almost 50 percent of the red panda’s habitat is in the Eastern Himalayas. The loss of nesting trees and bamboo is causing a decline in red panda populations across much of their range because their forest home is being cleared.
Red pandas are often killed when they get caught in traps meant for other animals such as wild pigs and deer. They are also poached for
their distinctive pelts in China and Myanmar. Red panda fur caps and hats have been found for sale in Bhutan.
Red Panda Network (RPN) is committed to the conservation of wild red pandas and their habitat through the education and empowerment of local communities.

Thank you one and all for your help support
