DENVER (AP) — A Colorado-based group working to ensure the long-term survival of giant pandas is getting a financial boost.

Littleton-based Pandas International says the catastrophic earthquake in western China in 2008, along with mudslides and flooding since then, have affected bamboo stands that are the bulk of pandas’ diet. The group is trying to plant more bamboo.
