The Panda symbol came from Chi Chi , a Panda from Beijing Zoo which was transfered to London Zoo around the establishment of WWF itself, and also because pandas were one of the endangered species, hence they used as a symbol/mascot.

Their mission is to stop degradation of our planet natural environment, and build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature.

Also, keep in mind that they’re not trying to keep humans out of the environment and stop countries from developing, they’re just trying to find a practical solutions for a healthy planet.
