Suzanne Braden decided she had to do something to help the Giant Pandas. She set up Pandas International, a non-profit organization, formed to ensure the preservation and propagation of the Giant Panda. 
She stays proactive in helping pandas through research centers, zoological foundations and many other venues that are involved with giant pandas. It was her quick response that enabled vital food and medicines for the pandas to be shipped and delivered successfully into Wolong, within days after the earthquake shook that region.
Animal Planet is sponsoring 2008 Hero of the Year , if Suzanne is selected the $ 10,000 donation from Animal Planet would be made to Pandas International. Nominations are due by July 19th!
I really believe in Pandas International and the work they do. Go check out their website, Suzanne just returned from Wolong with some unbelievable photos that shows what tremendous damage they incurred.
If you feel like I do about the great job she has done in helping the Wolong Center prevail through this devastating event, then please take a moment to nominate her for Hero of the Year.
They do request some information on the nominees, so I am forwarding this on to you also.
