I always wanted to help, and now I feel like I can really benefit something that I care so much about through an organization that truly is trying to make a difference. We are so proud of her! There are over 40, endangered species in the world, and while 'cuteness' is a subjective trait, we could argue that a good number of these at-risk creatures fall somewhere pretty high on the cuteness scale.
Red Pandas in my view rate pretty dang high and while that characteristic alone encouraged me to donate to the Red Panda Network cause the first time, it wasn't what convinced me to offer any assistance I could behind the scenes.
RPN isn't focusing solely on the Red Panda alone, but is working in a far more expanded manner to affect not only their immediate chances of survival, but also to increase and improve their environment and that of the native people they share the land with.
They are just as concerned with the aspects of forest health, community prosperity and education because they know how dependent the entire ecosystem is on each of those conditions. This is what impressed the heck out of me and spurred me to reach out and see how I could help. I've recently retired from a 30 year career focused on statistics, analysis and decision-making support for a university, an international software company and two healthcare organizations. During this time I've done everything from serving as the president of the University Classified Association in Alaska to answering an IT help desk phone to creating and implementing a reporting service for a multi-state hospital system.
The link between all of these is my true appreciation for the hard work and passion of my co-workers. I have always done everything I could to ensure we as a team are working with the best information available to make the best decisions for our goals. Okay, that and having fun while we do it yes, you can have fun with statistics! I look forward to putting my skills with all things data to good use for the RPN and hope to be able to identify and maximize trends and progress due to the many efforts currently underway.
As a volunteer newbie, I also look forward to providing whatever feedback I can with an objective point of view. RPN has already accomplished so very, very much and I am honored to be able to help continue these efforts!
From a very young age, conservation of the outdoors and the creatures inhabiting them has been extremely important to me. Designing for this organization since has been so wonderfully rewarding and is made even greater by the tireless dedication of the others involved. Bryan has donated his exceptional design skills to provide us with compelling annual reports, infographics, event posters and other education and outreach materials.
We are forever grateful! The first time I saw picture of a red panda I thought they were too cute to be real. I instantly fell in love with them. I remember reading up about them and quickly discovering the sad reality of how critically endangered they are.
I found the Red Panda Network online and seeing the amazing work that they do, I decided to lend a helping hand in the best way I could. Laura's design talents and passion for pandas have made a huge difference for our efforts to save this endangered species. Thank you Laura for being such an awesome volunteer! Helping cute red pandas in their natural habitats seemed like an interesting and fun opportunity, and the ins and outs of a non-profit was something I wanted to learn more about.
Since then, I've gotten to see passion and enthusiasm for red panda conservation in all sorts of ways from people ranging from young panda fans, to zoo staff, to professional conservationists, and its this inspiring community that's kept me here. Plus, as a bonus, volunteering for RPN has given me amazing experiences like meeting REAL red pandas and their keepers in so many zoos across America and even Europe, and let me connect with people across the globe that I would otherwise never have met, all because of this shared interest.
Someday, I hope to make it on an eco-trip to see them in the wilderness of Nepal! My first encounter with red pandas was when my girlfriend mentioned that it was her spirit animal!
I legitimately thought they were just red coloured pandas — but upon googling, noticed that they were adorable little critters that needed help. Reached out to the chair of the board, got plugged into the team and started discussing how I can add value!
Examples of such projects could be the establishment of a new protected area where you'll be involved with a range of activities such as the collection of field data, consultations with local communities, building infrastructure support. You may find yourself working in a local community on a WWF Madagascar working for the Conservation of Toliara Coral Reef, or monitoring the bisons in the Carpathians, or counting the saigan antillope in Mongolia.
