　　There are several reasons for the low 　　10　　．The main reason is 　　11　　 male pandas can make love with females in a very 　　12　　 season－only a few days a year．When they do have babies, females often produce two pandas, but the mother is usually not able to care for 　　13　　 of them．The newborn pandas 　　14　　 only a few kilograms each．They are too weak to live without special care．In the zoo, scientists can help the mothers 　　15　　 the young pandas, but those living in the wild do not get enough 　　16　　．It is very difficult for mother pandas to bring up their young pandas．

　　Conditions for the giant pandas have been worse in recent years．Pandas in China continue to 　　17　　 in number．We know pandas live on bamboos．But sometimes all the bamboos in one area die．The pandas there have 　　18　　 to eat and die of hunger．

　　Giant pandas now live in 13 separate 　　19　　 areas in China．Several years ago the Chinese government and the International Wild Life Organization agreed 　　20　　 a project of protecting giant pandas in the wild．We hope it could be helpful．
