STATUS
Presentation title 6
With only around
2060 pandas living
in the wild, the giant
panda is considered
vulnerable of
extinction by
the IUCN Red List.

7. EFFORTS TO PROTECT
• The Chinese government has actively worked to restore and
protect bamboo habitat, and these measures have shown
positive results.
• State Forestry Administration surveys have concluded that the
panda population has increased since the Chinese
government’s actions, and in 2016, the IUCN upgraded the
giant panda’s status from Endangered to Vulnerable.
