What is the importance of rescuing endangered species such as the giant panda?

The giant panda is of philosophical importance to the Chinese culture, who believe pandas are the physical manifestation of the Yin and the Yang. Sustaining diversity is important part of balancing ecosystems. Giant pandas endangerment also involves the destruction of bamboo; these two organisms help balance the ecosystems in China. If the bamboo population keeps depleting than the pandas will have less food sources and the population will decrease as well. If we help rescue the pandas then we will help bamboo population as well and this will have less environmental damage. Not only do they help balance ecosystems but also deserve to be on this planet and we should not stand by and let them become extinct by our excessive destruction.
