They
look great don't they? It's very unfortunate that pandas face threat of
extinction. Great panda's conservation status is endangered. Though
there is controversy about the exact number latest research done by
developed DNA analysis shows that there are 2000 to 3000 great pandas
living in the wild. Number of pandas living captivated is about 300,
most of them in China, great panda's homeland.
Great
panda lives in a very limited area, a few mountain ranges in Central
China are home of pandas. They live in high attitudes. Because of
increasing population and developing economy of China their natural
habitat is narrowing.
Good
news is due to efforts made by Chinese Government like gun control and
removal of residents near to habitat of great pandas, number of them is
slightly increasing. It's even considered to put pandas in
classification of vulnerable species that represents a better situation
than endangered species.
