But within the past forty years, more than fifty percent of the panda's already shrinking habitat has been destroyed by humans, leaving the beautiful and beloved giant panda vulnerable to extinction. Despite the seemingly insurmountable odds--poaching, habitat destruction, pollution, human overpopulation, and global climate change--the panda is making a comeback. How? By humans teaching baby pandas how to be wild and stay wild. <p/><b>Chicago Public Library Best of 2018 <br> Kirkus Best Book of 2018 <br> Junior Library Guild Selection</b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Robert F.
