is the outlook for recovering the red panda good or bad?

Answer 1

It's not very good unfortunately.

Red Pandas are classified as endangered. No reliable numbers exist for the total population but it is very threatened due to the fragmentation of its natural habitats, their small numbers, and their food specialization needs. In southwest China the Red Panda is hunted for its fur and especially for its highly-valued bushy tail from which hats are produced. In the areas of China, where the Red Panda lives, their fur is often used for local cultural ceremonies and in weddings the bridegroom traditionally carries the hide. The 'good-luck charm' hats are used by Chinese newlyweds.

This, and the continuous clearing of the forests, has significantly reduced the population. It is now protected in all countries in which it lives, and the hunting of Red Pandas is illegal everywhere. Nevertheless, poaching continues and they are often illegally hunted and sold to zoos for dumping prices. The IUCN has mandated that small Pandas are a “threatened species“ since 1996, however it is now listed as endangered. It is very difficult to estimate the total population, yet one can assume that they cannot bear much more of a habitat change and that they are in danger of extinction due to the disappearance of the forests and the furtive hunting for its highly-valued tail and fur.

Answer 2

Good. Very good. The awareness of what a red panda is and the public's love for the animal has increased exponentially in the past decade. Ten years ago if you had asked this question, if this medium existed, they would say a red what? People love this animal and will not see it die out. I was looking at a newer updated website and I can't recall the exact web address but they went from 2,500 to 4,000. There are breeding programs and reintroduction, tracking collars proved to be extremely successful according to this nature show I was watching on the nature channel a month or two ago. They are going to make it.

Answer 3

If you are looking for an ethical and probable answer, not good.
Panda as most bears are from beta galaxy. They are spriritual
like suspected in christian worlds as an alien and invader. The
cruelty of bears on humans is not untargetted. They attack the
people with higher pollution issues, automobilers, ski mobilers.
A very in depth national security study shows clearly that there
are ghost stories in this area more than any other in the world.
The similarity of bears to people is very close in menu, and is
declared not safe to co-exist incorrectly. Only one bible story
is verified of bears actually working peacefully and mingling in
public parks. Fear of pregnancy by bears was as old as the
gladiators, and was in the bible story showing that tamed is not
for them, whether they are ancestor activities is verified in only
Nova Scotia. Basically bears live wild life, and are varmints.

Answer 4

It is not looking great, but possible... Human encroachment on habitat, fashion/cultual customs especially in China, extreme susceptibility to the canine distemper virus and no vaccine for them, temperature/climate sensitivity, a long gestation period, and a finicky diet (new bamboo leaves only) contribute to the threat they face. However captive breeding has made great strives in ensuring the animal is in zoos...
