26、ies thrive Good news for giant panda lovers: The cute and cuddly creature has just been brought back from the brink of extinction. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) downgraded the species from “endangered” to “vulnerable” as the union released its updated Red List on Sept 4 a

27、t Hawaii. The downgrade came after IUCN data suggested that there were 1,864 giant pandas in the wild in China in 2014 their population has grown by 17 percent in the decade leading up to 2014. Chinese conservation efforts, including forest protection and reforestation, are considered to be the driv

28、ing force behind the animals resurgence. “Its all about restoring the habitats,” Craig Hilton-Taylor, head of the IUCN Red List, told the BBC. The number of panda reserves in China has also jumped to 67, from 13 in 1992. Nearly two-thirds of all wild pandas live in these reserves, according to the W

29、orld Wildlife Fund. “Just by restoring the pandas habitat, thats given them back their space and made food available to them,” Hilton-Taylor said.

31、 has since been enforced to protect the beasts and the population is now likely to be between 100,000 and 150,000. Despite the improved statuses, wild animals like the giant panda and the Tibetan Antelope still face great challenges. The IUCN warned, for example, that ongoing threats from climate change could eliminate more than 35 percent of the pandas bamboo habitat in the next 80 years, which would reverse the species recent gains.28.
