Dear MEL Topic Readers,
World's captive panda population hits 757
The giant panda is a large bear species native to China, known for its distinctive black-and-white fur. It primarily resides in mountainous regions, especially in Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu provinces. Pandas mostly eat bamboo and grow to around 100 kilograms. The giant panda is a vulnerable species because of its habitat loss, low reproductive rate, isolated habitation, and climate change that affects bamboo growth. Giant pandas are among the world's most adored and protected rare animals. Thanks to China's continuing conservation efforts for decades, there are as many as 757 giant pandas in captivity in the world and around 1,900 in the wild in China, according to the announcement made at the Global Panda Partners 2024 conference, where representatives from Russia, Japan, and other countries met. Indeed, pandas are used as a form of diplomatic gift or gesture to strengthen political, cultural, and economic ties with other countries. Pandas are ambassadors for friendship.
