Wildlife in Danger: Pandas

by Ian Ng

Giant pandas first became endangered in 1990 due to poaching and deforestation. China’s government set up 13 panda nature reserves. Some farming fields were left to grow back into bamboo forests. Trees and bamboo grow back well, and pandas’ habitat is recovering. Pandas are given reintroduction training to get them ready for release into the wild. Once training is complete, pandas are sent back in their habitat to let the species continue.
