=== Summary of the 2016 IUCN Assessment === | |||
# The Fourth National Survey (2011-2014) estimated a Giant Panda population of 1,864, excluding young <1.5 years old. | |||
# Demographic data suggests the total population could be around 2,060, with mature adults comprising approximately 1,040. | |||
# The species meets criteria for Vulnerable due to a small population size. | |||
# Fragmentation into subpopulations, each with fewer than 1,000 adults, poses a concern under criteria C2. | |||
# Recent surveys indicate a stabilization and increase in the population. | |||
# Increased habitat availability supports population growth, but climate change threatens bamboo habitats. | |||
# Despite downlisting to Vulnerable, continued conservation efforts are crucial to mitigate emerging threats. | |||
