FfFfFfFF 58,133 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Giant pandas are no longer endangered in the wild, but they are still vulnerable with a population outside captivity of 1,800, Chinese officials have said after years of conservation efforts. The head of the environment ministry’s department of nature and ecology conservation, Cui Shuhong, said the reclassification was the result of “improved living conditions and China’s efforts in keeping their habitats integrated”. He said the announcement reflected China’s national efforts to preserve biodiversity in recent years. The authorities have worked to expand giant pandas’ habitats and replanted bamboo forests to feed them. The number of Siberian tigers, amur leopards, Asian elephants and crested ibis have also “visibly increased” as a result of continuing conservation efforts in recent years, Cui told a press conference this week.

The article says: The decision by China’s own conservation authority comes five years after the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) removed giant pandas from its endangered species list and classified them as vulnerable. Many Chinese experts disputed the decision at the time, arguing that it was misleading and would cause complacency in China, where the animals are considered a national treasure.

Theyre so cute, I love them, how could anyone want to hunt these precious little loaves They became endengere for a few reasons, such as: they were being hunted by poachers, they're a species that doesn't reproduce easily. But the main cause of their endengerment is believed to be deforestation/ habitat loss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
