The conservation status of the iconic giant panda is a barometer of global conservation efforts. The IUCN Red List has downgraded the panda's extinction risk from "endangered" to "vulnerable". Newly obtained, detailed GIS and remotely sensed data applied consistently over the last four decades show that panda habitat covered less area and was more fragmented in 2013 than in 1988 when the species was listed as endangered.
标志性的大熊猫的保护现状是全球保护工作的晴雨表。国际自然保护联盟红色名录已将熊猫的灭绝风险从“濒危”降为“易危”。新获得的、过去四十年中一致应用的详细 GIS 和遥感数据表明,与 1988 年该物种被列为濒危物种时相比,2013 年大熊猫栖息地的面积更小,碎片化程度更高。
