Giant panda population is no longer extinct after their population has grown by 17% in the recent decade.
Exciting news for animal lovers: giant pandas which had been at risk of extinction, are no longer classified as endangered.
Over the past decade, the global giant panda population has increased by 17% leading to their status on the global Red List being downgraded from “endangered” to “vulnerable.”
This is a significant achievement and can serve as an example of how a scientific approach, well-designed public policies and international cooperation can bring a change.
The protection and restoration of giant panda habitats have played a crucial role in the steady growth of their population. Meanwhile, this progress is also a reminder that conservation efforts must remain ongoing in order to preserve and sustain these achievements. The success story of the giant panda can serve as an inspiring model for initiatives aimed at protecting other rare and endangered species.
