"The population has grown, thanks to effective forest conservation and afforestation," the IUCN. "This progress confirms that the measures taken by the Chinese government to protect this species are successful." At 17% the number of giant pandas has risen 2004-2014.
The international animal welfare organization World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is pleased with this development - not for nothing that the panda is 50 years, the emblem of the organization. "The message that the Panda is now one step away from extinction, is an exciting moment for everyone who works for the protection of nature and its inhabitants," said WWF Director General Marco Lambertini.
