Are giant pandas an endangered animal?

Be. Those that can become national first-class treasure animals are basically endangered.

The giant panda is an endangered species in China, what are the animals that are rarer than the giant panda?

The giant panda was listed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (IUCN): 2016 – Vulnerable (VU), which means that in 2016, the giant panda has been downgraded to vulnerable. The giant panda is the only mammal under the genus Giant Panda, with only two subspecies, and generally lives in dense bamboo forests at an altitude of 2,600 to 3,500 meters, where the air is thin all year round, the temperature is below 20 degrees Celsius, and the clouds are shrouded.

Giant pandas have a long history. The oldest giant panda member ever found is the fossil of the First Panda, which was unearthed in Lufeng and Yuanmou in Yunnan, China, and dates to the late Miocene about 8 million years ago. In the long-term and harsh competition for survival and natural selection, many animals of their time have become extinct, but the giant panda is a strong one, in an advantageous position, and has survived to this day as a "living fossil".

1. Low reproductive ability:

The lifespan of wild giant pandas is not long, the number of litters in a lifetime is small, and the cubs are not easy to survive, resulting in an extremely scarce giant panda population. In addition, the reproductive system of the giant panda is infected by certain bacteria, the egg-laying rate of females is reduced, and the desire of males to mate is reduced, which is also one of the reasons for the imminent extinction of pandas.

2. Habitat damage:

Due to the blind exploitation of mountains and forests, the habitat area of the giant panda has been reduced, and each habitat has formed an isolated island shape, which has led to population segmentation, and the inbreeding and population degradation of the giant panda population are inevitable. The destruction of habitats has led to a decrease in food for giant pandas, and there is not much bamboo to eat, which has also put a lot of pressure on the survival of the giant panda population.

3. Too much capture:

For example, since 1963, more than 113 giant pandas have been captured in Baoxing County alone, all for domestic and foreign exhibitions. According to the analysis of the giant panda application form, it takes about 12 years for them to be in a generation, and the population grows very slowly, and if it is caught in large quantities, it will take decades to recover, even if it is well protected.

Once the bamboo is destroyed and the food is reduced, its survival will be affected. 99% of the giant panda's food is bamboo, they eat a variety of plants in the wild, almost all of them are bamboo, there are more than 60 kinds of bamboo plants for giant pandas to eat in the world, the most favorite to eat are seven kinds of bamboo, such as Huaxi arrow bamboo, big arrow bamboo, etc., they will choose different kinds of bamboo and different parts of bamboo to eat.

5. Pandas are more dependent on their place of residence

Poor adaptability to environmental change. The range of giant pandas is mostly in gullies, mountain belly depressions, river valley terraces and other areas, and generally moves in gentle slope terrain below 20°.

The distribution and density of giant pandas in the wild can also be affected by other factors, and human disturbance is the biggest factor affecting the distribution of giant pandas today. Giant pandas are not afraid of cold and dampness, never hibernate, they are not afraid of moisture, and love to live in a humid environment with a humidity of more than 80%.

No. In September 2016, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) announced that China's giant panda was no longer among the world's endangered animals, and had changed from "endangered" to "vulnerable".

In 2016, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) reported that the improvement in the survival of giant pandas shows that China's efforts to protect giant pandas are effective.

At present, there are about 2,500 giant pandas in the wild and in captivity. There are more people studying and protecting giant pandas in China than there are giant pandas, and the support in terms of human, material and financial resources is sufficient. This level of protection is one of the reasons why giant pandas are considered to be at low risk of extinction.

However, even so, Zhang Jinshuo stressed that giant pandas are still very rare and precious. At present, the giant panda is still listed as a national first-class protected animal, which is recorded in the "List of National Key Protected Wild Animals". The threat level of giant pandas is "downgraded", and digging up does not mean that the protection of giant pandas will be reduced, and the protection level will be downgraded.

Reasons why pandas are endangered

1. Deforestation: Due to the excessive exploitation of some timber by humans, the habitat of giant pandas has been destroyed. About 10,000 hectares of trees are mined every year, and it is conceivable that the number of pandas will also decline dramatically.

2. Capture too much: Before the founding of New China, many foreigners were catching pandas in our country, and they purchased pandas through high **, which led to many criminals catching pandas excessively.

3. Human activities: China's population has increased dramatically, resulting in the need for more land to feed the population, so the territory of the giant panda has gradually shrunk. It is reported that 137 giant pandas have died due to some human activities in one place.

4. Fertility: Giant pandas actually take a long time to reproduce the next generation, and each reproduction has to be separated by a long time, because the living environment of giant pandas is not very good, so they may not be able to survive after birth. To sum up, the birth rate is small and the survival rate is low.

Because giant pandas are not social animals and are always loners, it is difficult to find a mate, so it is very difficult to reproduce.

People say that scarcity is expensive, and the reason why it has become an endangered animal is because it is too rare, so the reproduction rate is very slow, which leads to this situation.

Because the giant panda is a particularly solitary animal, and only when it is time for a mate to breed, it will look for a mate, and usually it is alone.

Due to its low fertility rate, the giant panda is classified as an endangered species in China's Red Book of Endangered Animals and is a national treasure of China. The giant panda is known as a living fossil in the biological world.

The panda is endemic to China, and its main habitat is the mountainous area around the Sichuan Basin in central and western China and the Qinling Mountains in southern Shaanxi. There are about 2,060 giant pandas left in the wild worldwide (2016 data). In late 2016, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) downgraded the panda's threat level from "endangered" to "vulnerable".

Summary. Hello dear, 1Due to the blind activities of humans, their habitats have been destroyed, resulting in the reduction of their habitat area.

2.The panda's own reproductive ability is reduced, its reproductive system is infected by certain bacteria, the egg-laying rate of females is reduced, and the desire of males to mate is reduced, which is also a major reason for the imminent extinction of pandas.

3.The survival rate of baby pandas is low.

4.Pandas are more dependent on their place of residence and less adaptable to environmental changes. Oh dear.
