How about Save the Panda? However, this topic is politically sensitive.
"Save the Panda" would be fine, as it relates to a particular population, of course.
Politically sensitive, in Singapore? Not in my estimation.
State of the Environment reporting?
I already clarified this in class but I shall just repeat it here. "Save the Panda" is politically senstive as some environmentalists regard only as a diplomacy tool. Its ecological value does not justify the huge expense of saving them. I concede that baby pandas are cute!
Another suggestion. Wildlife breeding programs.
Ecological value? Don't you think that "value" can be more than just money?
I can imagine a world without mosquitos, but not one without pandas, grizzlies, sun bears and other mammal species "in the wild." Aside from their "value" for humans, what about their "right" to a place in the world? For me it comes down to a basic philosophical idea: the world doesn't just "belong" to humans.
Something very important has been left out.

Interesting to know how much CO2 the meat you eat actually contribute to the atmosphere.
