Extinction Risks Remain High for Wild Pandas
Populations of giant pandas in the wild are more fragmented and isolated than they were 30 years ago and many continue to face a high risk of extinction despite recent gains in the species’ overall numbers, a new study by Chinese and American scientists finds.
Climate change, habitat loss and reduced breeding viability an inherent risk in small, remote populations where potential mates are few could pose a triple whammy for these animals, the research suggests.
Scientists need to find ways to restore connectivity between these populations or introduce new breeding animals into them, the study’s authors say.

If we pay closer attention to how birds, rabbits and termites transform their local living spaces in response to varying climate conditions, we could become much better at predicting what impact climate change will have on them in the future.
This is according to a group of researchers from the Universities of Montana and Wyoming in the United States, the University of Tours in France and Stellenbosch University (SU) in South Africa. They examined how animals ability to respond to climate change likely depends on how well they modify their habitats, such as the way they build nests and burrows.
