Protection of giant pandas in China;
At one time, pandas traveled all over the mountains and underground in Myanmar, northern Vietnam and southeastern China. However, due to the expansion and development of human beings, such as agriculture and logging, the bamboo forest on which giant pandas depend has been seriously damaged.
In 1980s, a large area of bamboo forests in China became extinct, and 150 pandas starved to death. The remaining pandas were forced to move to high mountains, making it difficult to get close to the former bamboo forest.
It was from then on that China no longer approved the donation of pandas to foreign countries/regions, but changed to commercial exhibitions and other forms to protect the dwindling panda population.
From 65438 to 0963, China began to build the first Wolong National Nature Reserve.
Today, there are 67 giant panda nature reserves in China, and the protected giant panda habitat area has increased from 6.5438+0.39 million hectares in 1970s and 1980s to 2.58 million hectares. More than half of the giant panda habitats and wild giant panda populations have been effectively protected in nature reserves.
