Threats to the Survival of the
Giant Panda




Wild Giant Pandas are found only in a
number of relatively small areas within
China.
China has the largest human population of
any country in the world.
And the expansion of areas used by
humans, can mean less space for the
pandas.
Pandas need to be able from place to place,
but some places have a lack of bamboo
which the pandas feed on, this means some
pandas will starve them selves too death.
Bamboo Loss.



Pandas feed on 25 to
40 pounds of bamboo
per day.
When bamboo dies-off
this is a natural
process, occurring
every 15-120 years.
After flowering bamboo
can take up to 20 years
for re-growth.
Panda life and history.



Pandas are a
subfamily of the
bear family.
Their diet is
almost
completely made
up of bamboo.
They live about
20 years in the
wild, and start
breeding at 7 &
8.
Panda life and history.




Pandas are around 3 million years old.
They have out survived many species
such like, the Stegodon and the
Chinese rhino.
They exist in the wild in mountainous
areas.
They are endemic to a small area of
china.
Poaching.


52 panda skins
were recovers
from poachers in
11 years.
An estimated of
240 pandas have
been captured
for zoos.
Problems with
habitats.
 Protected
lands are bored
by local communities.
 Although logging isn’t
permitted, people and
loggers still do it.

What does this
mean?
 This
means pandas high
up in the tree tops are
losing food and
enjoyment of the trees.
Loss of population
 There
are many reasons why
the pandas are becoming
extinct.
 :- the lack of bamboo.
 :- poaching
 :-and not enough space.
 These are just a few of the
