Study Notes

Panda Conservation Status

Pandas are a critically endangered species, the rarest member of the bear family, facing a significant risk of extinction.
The wild panda population in 2002 was estimated at 1,600.
There are approximately 100 pandas in zoos worldwide.
Conservation efforts aim to increase the wild panda population to 5,000 by 2025.
50 panda reserves in China contribute to panda protection.

Factors Contributing to Panda Endangerment

Pregnancy Issues: Pandas have a low reproductive rate, typically only becoming pregnant once a year, with a very limited 24-hour fertile period.
Diet: Pandas primarily consume bamboo, which is low in calories and nutrients, requiring them to eat constantly.
Habitat Loss: Human population growth and development (housing, railroads, roads) in China have significantly reduced panda habitat.
Poaching: Despite illegal status, some poachers still hunt pandas for their valuable skin, though poaching rates have been reduced.
