“China’s population of wild giant pandas jumped nearly 17 per cent over a decade, state media is reporting, with conservation measures credited as being behind the increase.

The investigation by the State Forestry Administration (SFA) found that by the end of 2013 China had 1,864 giant pandas alive in the wild, marking an increase of 268 individuals, or 16.8 per cent, the official Xinhua news agency reported.”

I don’t understand the thread title.

It says the numbers are increasing.

Looking more optimistic, but they should introduce a Baby Bonus scheme.

:D what a fine idea!

It’s a constant battle, their territory needs to be protected and we dont want to see co2 levels below 400ppm ever again to ensure their food security.

A baby bonus scheme should include paying the parents proportionally to the success of the child. For Pandas that would only require ensuring you have an adequate bamboo supply.
