The logo of which of the following famous organizations is a Giant Panda?

The Giant Panda is the world-renowned logo of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), now known as the World Wide Fund for Nature [1]. The inspiration for this iconic emblem was Chi-Chi, a giant panda that arrived at the London Zoo in 1961, the same year WWF was established [2]. The founders chose the panda because it was a beautiful, endangered species that was widely loved and, practically, its black-and-white features saved on printing costs at the time [2]. While other organizations like the IUCN and UNESCO focus on conservation and heritage, their logos differ significantly; for instance, the UN logo features a world map with olive branches, and the World Heritage emblem symbolizes global protection of human heritage. The Giant Panda remains a powerful 'flagship species' used by environmental activists to achieve broader conservation goals.
