They are the global face of wildlife conservation. And after decades of campaigning panda numbers are now slowly improving. But why there are some wildlife experts warning the species is under more pressure than ever. Im still on this edition of one of one east we ask whats the future of chinas panders. On any given morning here in southwest china you can find thousands of die hard fans queuing up eager to be the first to catch a glimpse of chinas most famous celebrity. Family with their furry black and white coats they look very much like a cuddly teddy bear. On. The run to the bottom of. The. Whole. Busy Reading Center has more pandas than anywhere else in the world. Like rock stars their every move gets a reaction. Wasnt right. These girls traveled hundreds of kilometers overnight to see them in action thing either on top of their home no kushal much of the i. C. U. Fessio single. Known to be extremely shy in the wild here crowds get within a few feet of them. In crawl as they sleep. Like i was. Scratching the. Wrestler it was. An eat. And eat. And eat. An adult and it consumes up to fifty kilograms of bamboo shoots a day. There are now more pandas for the crowds to see thanks to developments in artificial insemination. From a handful of injured pandas rescued in the wild today the captive population has grown to more than four hundred and fifty. Last year pandas were taken off the endangered list. I mean it really is amazing how one animal can generate so much excitement among the question is how much are these crowds contributing to saving this missing person. Is one of chinas leading panda experts this whole cap for publication phenomena is something to do always peoples love to animal to an extend that they want to touch human to own one. I would bet that if the policy allow. People to raise panda as a pet ill be mean inza people want to raise pan as a pet. Thats laugh a lot of hurt. Me has devoted decades to study pandas in the Wild Research she says is underfunded. If you talk about investment in Scientific Research observation of animals kept track of much more than the wild panda i would love to know how much money has been invested in captive population versus wild populations. He believes reading pandas in captivity is all about making a profit not protecting the species. Case in point that your poor beastie risen in northern china. Here tour operators are cashing in with two tenders yoyo and see job on display. Despite this being in the middle of the mountains there is little thats natural about their environment. Yet when we arrive we find them living on concrete floors. With trees. And behind glass. People young human beings says having them here serves a greater purpose. By bringing penned us here it will help a lot of people who dont have an opportunity to see them elsewhere to understand and my our national treasure. He says his pandas live a good life. Although their constrain our outdoor playground is still helping them the playground is basically like nature. Thats if nature has loud music. Still the pandas do seem to like the ski resorts outdoor enclosures yan says this is the closest thing to the wild that these two could ever survive. In a pool where. I dont think the stupendous can go into the wilderness theyve been kept in captivity too long. Any penned us to be reintroduced into the while need to start training from a very young age in order for them to better at that to the wilderness. China has tried to reintroduce pandas into the wild but it hasnt gone well. After decades of breeding out for show she was the first to be released in two thousand and six just a year later his body was discovered lying in the snow in a bamboo forest. And was farm. Is full of loans on the. Other hand thats. Out of seven pandas that have been released the government says four are still alive. You can say we paid the price for our failed attempts but we learned our lesson. Yes. Judge and soon the man behind the governments plan to policies has hope for the future when you know. What were using every way to teach these baby pandas how to survive in the wilderness well miss you want it in the genes all the time you know and we hope handers will participate in mating and breeding activities as soon as possible that would maka ultimate success in sending them back to the wild but even some top experts within chinas own Breeding Program say releasing captive pandas wont work and its downright cruel. Agrees reintroduction is a very costly program personally i think its from a scientific point of view its not necessary because we have two cells and plus pandas in the wild because they can breed that they can live and. Outsiders have never been allowed to venture deep independent territory until now. Weve been given exclusive access into these remote mountains in western china. And the modern and habitat. We join the world and his team of rangers their guardians of this vast expanse good as devoted twenty years to protecting tenderness. But its a hard life those last men to the harsh conditions youre. Going to think how to kind of you fit into the future for them. Were always you know how i worked in the hunt you know pleasure. Warman we talk about how. We know about how one fourth floor. Of the place from one hundred five hundred units here for. They often spend weeks tracking pandas in subzero degree temperatures but it certainly would have had other thought is also one got a little money. To loosen the two from the latter but too slow for the cool im going to. Clean up thank you are you have. These pictures captured on a camera truck show the object of his passion unlike those in captivity these ones are living free in their Natural Environment its how home thinks they should live. A family to function are going. On and. From the border to the new home how much you should. Know whether to want to or not what you can board and homeward while her sees millions of dollars a year is spent on captive bred pandas he and his men get on with little funding and support but theyve learned to make do. Watch while. You watch. And so move are made by you there was a body got to go. From here. The men are on constant lookout for signs bite marks. Prints. Or droppings. So who were some to do for that the. How quick to judge. You know one of the public you know who and. Who grew up i want to go. Through i want to hook how many people here you lock. Up. Every bit of information they gather helps them better understand the animals they are trying to save. The. Tracking pandas for these for strangers is difficult difficult work so that means going through these dense underbrush trying to find their trail and its not easy. The landscape changes as we move deeper into panda territory. Cutter took an. Old. Rule to do it and without it if you can afford to do which a lot of. The reserve spans almost two hundred thousand hectares of forest and mountains are going to hillary and one of them to the you know your home but what are the for. And the passion want to point out one of the. According to her their recent surveys show this place has more pandas than anywhere else they estimate a hundred and ten live here. Well theres a number one issue with tricia. Even with this concentration most of whose men have only ever seen brief glimpses of these shy creatures. So rangers recently began installing camera traps throughout the reserve to better understand panda behavior. But no one. Woman for you or the one. The men are eager to see what this cameras capture but their hopes are quickly deft. With the image that comes with a law suit on. Since it was hard to hide a low measuring scene if youre the one. Disappointed they fit the device back on the tree. To make sure the angle is right their teammates pretend to be panders. And. What you do want to do. And what you want. They hope the next time the camera will capture a panda. But for now we call it a day. The rangers are always worrying about the pendants. Slight fluctuations in supply of bamboo has the times lead to many deaths or fido. Just after dark were back on the panda trail. After several hours the rangers spot something. You know. So you this from others are you serious or just to my own trained eye it doesnt look like much but those teams have found proof a panda is near now you are trying to try to and i havent. So you had other plans for the use of the museum. Since you. Know how to do the pull up some of the guys in the pros or what are you and then you heard it today its hydro thing that goes on and its an initial mountain i mean i dont think the president s converging going through the puddle to go from order to from the neutral. Further up the hill another discovery from you know. Logging a familiar she general you know. Was my name in kendo the mood from then. Seeing that he was a posh and what are you to judge from being a bit like i need you i dont mean we dont think you partially why i said he would come with me go do this you know why didnt. We continue along a narrow ridge hoping the panda is right around the corner. We come across another camera truck shes. Somebody. Who. I mean. She said. She wasnt use. Who she was you have to shut your mouth oh yes i hear more from. This time we hit the jackpot. And. Move. On the russians and one other one there are no. Knowledge of the challenge of. The. Militia to them all fonction. Well so far we found her paw print we found fairly fresh panda scat and a camera trap is actually captured a picture of a panda this is likely the closest well ever get to one of these wild creatures but its a pretty good day. Back at the makeshift camp its time to celebrate their success. The team cooking up a theme. Fight. Them over everyones in good spirits and for her its a chance to reflect on what theyve achieved in turn our corner and all the other when the ball would hop on the possibly very land so well if. Were going to go while theres lots of studies on how pandas live in zoos these images offer a rare insight into pandas in their Natural Environment woman to oprah dot com or thats how it was with someone and leave it there. But have little to do a campaign and leave the can the obama people who are without it all. He believes this knowledge will go a long way to help save the species and into its own way to my own human here thomas and. The proud owner of the no woman who could be her daughter whom we were part of mother to a flight into the ocean of whom my mother did the children wanted to thats easier. No watching. Them with a car with a financial bubble. He says one thing theyve learned is that the cute lazy creatures most people see in captivity are nothing like their wild cousins. You know. They are. So your. Father alone with you. While the vision shows pandas can be vicious to each other humans are their biggest threat. In. The next day we see that threat on the edge of a nearby reserve. An entire city has sprung up here. Wildlife conservation expert says theyve been pushing the government for decades to limit human encroachment into panda areas the best the pen the have all used to be a room remotes and the quiet now you have many people in it so quality of the handhelds paps are not in crazy. Its not just more people and more towns theres also pressure from big business. Its raining when we arrive on lawman mountain eleven pandas call this place home but as we soon discover their sanctuary is also the site of a phosphate mine. Extracting this mineral from the earth in heavily damages the environment. In twenty twelve the government allowed the mine to expand operations. The river below has become a murky morass and an entire mountain is now being carved up how heartbreaking i mean this is the center of a panda reserve and look at the entire portions are torn up its hard to imagine how pandas could thrive let alone survive in places like this in past fifty thousand years we had. Pushed the panda up to. Environment. And then their orange pandas used to roam throughout china and parts of Southeast Asia now they are reduced to sixty seven reserves inside the country. Some are so small they dont have any pandas living within them. Last december after more than half a century of lobbying by conservationists chinas president announced plans to help the world parents are making a Massive National park and creating Wildlife Corridors connecting existing reserves. But it wont mean the end of captive panders they are just too valuable not only is money making Tourist Attractions but as diplomatic tools. Back in one thousand nine hundred seventy two u. S. President Richard Nixon and the first lady were given a pair of pants a reward for restarting relations between the two countries all of sudden there was a panda rush. That all of the world the panda. Today fourteen countries had pandas on loan rewards for lucrative deals with china. These two are in malaysia. But pandas dont come for Free Malaysia gives china more than a Million Dollars a year for the pair and another six hundred thousand for the couples newborn. Add up all the pandas globally and china is raking in tens of millions every year eventually every one of them must also return home. Land pandas to. The all of the world in return get money back is that a commercial business or found raising for Conservation Program how much of that money at least banned in conservation especially in wild population. Is there any come to believe. Check the government denies the Panda Program is about making money that a woman. Would put her for sure with the main purpose of sending zoos is not for profit but to promote the idea of wildlife protection. Conservationists like her the one dream of the day when this unique species no longer needs to play to the cameras in zoos. The dilemma is pandas are the beloved face a wildlife conservation. Is the world willing to simply let them disappear from sight back into the wild. Boar the publics love for pandas mean they can never go home.
