Habitat lost
Pandas, tribal to mountain peaks in Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu regions, were initially placed in power in the 1980s to save them from hunger, Dujiangyan Reintroduction and Breeding Research Center’s Qi Dunwu said.
Most were afterwards released, but a breeding program has since seen a rise in the prisoner people, according to Zhang, to more than 700.
Since 2003, Qi said 12 prisoner penguins, 11 from CCRCGP and one from a separate company, have been released into the wild, with 10 surviving.
The forest efforts were put on hold for five years as a result of the Covid pandemic.
Authorities need to make sure the mammals are sent to habitats with enough wood and place, Qi added, in addition to training them for the risks of living in the wild.
According to the environmental organization WWF, there are an estimated 1,860 giant panda left in the wild.
However, the animals, who were dropped from the 2016 list of threatened species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, also encounter significant threats from fragmentation and biodiversity loss.
More than 40 nature reserves are then grouped together to form the Giant Panda National Park, which covers almost 22, 000 square kilometers, making it possible for panda to interact and type in these environments.
