Have you ever seen a red panda outside of captivity? Do you know what a red panda is?? They live in dense bamboo forests at high-altitudes making them even harder to spot. Which is ideal to keep them away from poachers, but not great for those who want to save them such as the guardians of the Red Panda Network who walk the forests of the Nepalese Himalayas, to track and count them.
This documentary follows the first female member of the Red Panda Network as she and the team hope to find a hint to the species survival. This is Firefox Guardian from wildlife filmmaker Gunjan Menon. Special thanks to Jackson Wild.

Thanks for watching the first film in our 2022 Seeker Indie showcase! Look out for more films next Tuesday. What other endangered species are you curious about?
What if the red panda was declared extinct. To discover Hunter's and any evidence to the contrary is covered up .if someone finds a body Come in and destroy it
Was that Tangerine Dream in the opening background?
I genuinely hope Disney/Pixar can consider donating money to red panda conservation, what with Turning Red’s popularity and all.
Firefox browser should take care of thr real life logo and brand...

I was lucky to see a red panda in the wild last year while trekking in Lantang region of Nepal. I feel so fortunate
Yes me to
This is a beautiful short about protectors of this unique panda. I didn't realize they were called firefoxes, so cool. Much respect to those doing this work, and to you for bringing this to us! 💚✊
✊💚
thank you to everyone who works in their community to protect native wildlife
NEPAl is beautiful country 🥰♥️ love from Thailand
I have no idea how someone could look at one of these creatures and say "I want to skin that".
My thoughts exactly, but when you're children are starving and your dirt poor-its probably a no brainer
Sounds like the country doesn't care about its people!
Love from Darjeeling, India
We also have several of them in our forests
Thank you Seeker for featuring this .
I only learned about red pandas this year. I liked them the first time I saw them. At that time, I thought red pandas were pets. Only through introductions on some channels did I learn that red pandas are endangered animals and very rare. They are so cute. I didn’t expect them. It is really abominable that criminals smuggle their fur. I hope everyone will know red pandas, love them and prevent them from becoming extinct, so that our next generation can see them.
Thank you, Firefox Guardians!! Your efforts are SO appreciated. These gentle creatures are one of many blessings on Mother Earth❤️🌍❤️🌎

We should conserve this animal in our Nepal
Pandas are the cutest animal , these need to be safer...
Indeed the cutest
This is from where Mozilla Firefox name came. So beautiful being in Himalayas living. 🦊
Appreciate the efforts put into this and for the content it provides👏🏻
Thank you for her efforts
Finally watching some quality video from youtube
!!!!
It's upsetting she faced sexism when she just wanted to help pandas :(
I saw some Red Pandas in India just roaming around freely. It was nice to see, and they were near a huge temple so I think nobody was disturbing them
Do you mean monkeys?
@@sancortexstk5252 no not monkeys. They were too distinct to be mistaken for anything else
@@sancortexstk5252India has largest population of red panda
@@D__UjjwalWrong. China has the largest population of Red Pandas.
beautifully filmed
Powerful story. I learned so much. Thank you!💗
I've been using firefox on my computer since day one - never knew that the red panda had that name!
Sorry it was mistake mame for red panda. ,one day you will know about this firebox in social media.
Best documentary, about helping these beautiful animal
Wonderful thanks for awareness
Nepali people are very hard working.
We Nepalese are so blessed to have such a cute & awesome creature like this in our land we have to halp this lady to save this animal ❤
Great video! Although, I'm pretty sure the poachers know exactly what they're doing. There's a reason they try not to get caught.
Excellent work 👏👏
Let support her incredible work
Yes. I've seen Red Panda during my college trip in Northern Sikkim.
Just wait until a certain Chinese Canadian turns 13 in Toronto.
I'm not crying, you are😢
love the video from my country
My favourite animal!
The documentary is very well made
Red Pandas are beautiful. Very sad life. PRAY 🙏
How does finding the panda protect it from poachers? In what ways do the local people depend on the pandas?
People please stop harming red pandas! 🐒 🐘
That is actually a fire ferret!
Excellent documentary made by seeker
Why is it the red panda in turning red for becoming a powerful warrior
meimei😅✨❤
Aren't these called Fire Ferrets?
No, in fact, they're correctly called red pandas, in fact, pandas are not the same thing as the Giant Panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca), a panda is any caniform carnivoran that is native exclusively to Eurasia and has eventually evolved a fully herbivorous niche feeding mostly on fruits, leaves, and bamboo, therefore the Red Panda (Ailurus fulgens) is also a panda, the extinct species closely related to the giant panda and red panda respectively are also pandas, the Giant Panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) and Red Panda (Ailurus fulgens) are the only two extant representatives of the families Ailuropodidae and Ailuridae respectively, in fact, the word "panda" is derived from the Nepalese word "poyna" which means bamboo eater and the name was first given to the red panda, indicating that the red panda was named and discovered before the giant panda, in fact pandas are not a monophyletic group at all, they are actually a polyphyletic group as the greater pandas (family Ailuropodidae) and lesser pandas (family Ailuridae) are very different from each other and are not closely related, the former is most closely related to the bears (family Ursidae) and is classified within the superfamily Ursoidea, while the latter is actually part of a different superfamily known as Procyonoidea, which groups it with the skunks, stink badgers, raccoons, ringtail, cacomistle, coatis, olingos, olinguito, and kinkajou of the families Mephitidae, Procyonidae, and Nasuidae, while both the extant giant panda and red panda feed on fruits, leaves, and bamboo, this is a similar diet to which african primates use as well with the greater pandas (family Ailuropodidae) filling a similar ecological niche that is occupied by gorillas and lesser pandas (family Ailuridae) filling a similar ecological niche that is occupied by monkeys such as colobuses, guenons, and vervets.
The great Mozilla wants his Firefoxes back.
Master Shifu!!!
Is this the full documentary?
Part 1 of it I think yes
wow
This is why it is so important to not wear fur even if it’s fake. It’s a status symbol that has to be dismantled. No fur ever.
I have seen red panda in Nepal.
I don't understand how looking for pandas "protects" the pandas.... It's not clear how they are protecting them from poachers.
They tag and keep count, advocate for laws to criminalize poaching, create no hunting grounds where the red panda lives, get red panda on the extinction list so they are protected.
@@HarlemSexyBlaqkat Seems as if there are already laws that say it's illegal. But laws are meaningless if they are not being enforced.
This is not called fire fox, Red panda anoher name is fire ferret. In nepali it is called Habre.

so that's how you meet a fellow Firefox user
Wtf! It's harder to watch this on 1x
😢♥️
Imagine driving a creature this beautiful to extinction- we have done it countless times and sadly will do it countless more. Humans suck.
The people poaching these animals (and most other animals as well) mostly do so because they are poor and catching and selling a red panda or parts of it can bring them the money they need to survive and care for their families.
Humans aren’t the problem, the current system in which impoverished people don’t get enough support to come by without feeling the need to do such things to feed themselves and their families is the problem.
Conservation without care for the poor people in such areas can’t ever work.
That’s also why projects where poor people are paid to work as rangers and to protect the animals they would otherwise hunt are so effective.
@@yourlocaltoad5102
Well said , a knowledgeable person on the internet very hard to find!!
I’ll take two! Jk - I know turning them into pets is not the solution.
I'm a nepali and am yet to see one
Pabu?
e é notícia!

Save the Red Panda locally known as Habre =^·^=
If they're so elusive that, "only a handful have seen them in the wild," how are they being poached?
Poachers often use traps, which don’t require them to see or find the animal.
They just need to place the traps in it’s natural habitat and regularly check if one got caught
🙏❤️🇳🇵
Leopards and black bears? Fucc that… 💨
What if they were declared extinct to descrage hunter's and any evidence to contrary gets covered congested . And Destroyed
Then some poacher would still see the animal, word about that would spread and the poaching would continue while there would be much less money for conversation since people wouldn’t pay to protect an animal that’s already extinct.
Providing the poachers and other poor people in the area with other options to make money would be much more efficient, since most poachers do so out of poverty and the prospect of making at least some money by hunting and selling these animals
Is it dog?
No, a dog is any carnivoran that belongs to the family Canidae.
first?
Yes
congratulation
Great

Nice video very engaging from the beginning to the end, 👌 I recommend a professional broker for you guys sometime ago, can I get people who invested with him... Comments below.
Hey At first i was skeptical but i did invest with him, I made huge profits thanks for your recommended.
I invested with him too during the global pandemic 😷, he charges 20% on profit made on every withdrawal. As a first timer investor, I started my trading with Anderson Taylor with $1,000 my portfolio much more than my capital.
I have been researching all this while for a digital asset investmentand i found bitcoin to be most profiting of them all, I'm definitely bouncing on the opportunity. Thank you so much.
I heard about him here in California too, Sometimes i wonder if he uses magical powers during trading 😅
I am newbie and i want to be informed before making the decision of investing with him because i want to invest with $3000... I love his reviews

We have them. I am from arunachal. A Himalayan state bordering China, Bhutan and myanmar. We have red pandas in wild. We also have tigers here. But I don't see anyone counting them. Are you sure? Because whenever someone from outside comes to Arunachal, they always find a new species like plants, ferns, herbs, butterflies, monkeys etc.
So I really don't this data are true.
If Pixar would stop making straight to video titles relating them to the human female's period, I'm sure they would come back in droves.
while i appreciate the effort but please make the narrative by a native english speaker
