It is really very cute to see them playing these young pandas. I visited the Panda base in Sichuan a few years ago when my friends from Chengdu drove me up to the Panda Breading and Research Center. Driving through the mountains they told me that some of the vegetation in this area is thousands of years old and a lot of herbal medicine can be found there. As we circled along the mountain path we met hundreds of workers constructing a new road all the way to the Panda center - to make it easier for tourists to drive up there. 'Why can't we humans keep some respect for nature?' was what went through my mind. Isn't this a ridiculous contradiction: trying to save the Panda and at the same time destroying it's habitat?
