The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is a flagship species in nature conservation. Habitat degradation and fragmentation threaten the sustainable survival of giant pandas, and thus degraded habitats need to be restored and fragmented habitats require connection. In the past ten years, some new studies have emerged on the habitat restoration of giant pandas, yet no specialized reviews of this topic have been published. This paper reviews the habitat restoration of giant pandas based on related articles published between 2012 and 2021. Three principal research topics are identified and summarized: restoration effect, restoration requirements, and restoration considerations. The review demonstrates that some measures, such as protection projects and policies, controlling human disturbances and impacts, and natural recovery, contribute to the habitat restoration of giant pandas. Many issues related to artificial forests need to be addressed to clarify their role in habitat restoration. Many habitats with clear locations and types need restoration, especially those that are disturbed or threatened by human activities and some that are disturbed by natural disturbances such as earthquakes. To integrate consideration factors, a reference habitat should be established and well described. In addition, social and economic factors should not be ignored. More targeted studies of the habitat restoration of giant pandas are urgently needed, including theoretical, cross-scale, interdisciplinary, multi-factor, and long-term monitoring studies. This review provides a reference for future research work and a source of information for future restoration of giant panda habitat.
大熊猫（Ailuropoda melanoleuca）是自然保护中的旗舰物种。生境退化和破碎化威胁着大熊猫的可持续生存，因此需要对退化生境进行恢复，对破碎化生境进行连接。在过去十年中，一些关于大熊猫栖息地恢复的新研究已经出现，但尚未有专门针对该主题的综述发表。本文基于 2012 年至 2021 年间发表的相关文章，综述了大熊猫的栖息地恢复。确定并总结了三个主要研究主题：恢复效果、恢复要求和恢复考虑因素。综述表明，保护工程和政策、控制人类干扰和影响、自然恢复等措施有助于大熊猫栖息地的恢复。许多与人工林有关的问题需要解决，以明确其在栖息地恢复中的作用。许多位置和类型明确的栖息地需要恢复，特别是那些受到人类活动干扰或威胁的栖息地，以及一些受到地震等自然干扰的栖息地。为了整合考虑因素，需要建立和详细描述一个参考栖息地。此外，不应忽视社会和经济因素。需要对大熊猫栖息地恢复进行更有针对性的研究，包括理论、跨尺度、跨学科、多因素和长期监测研究。本综述为未来的研究工作提供了参考，并为未来的大熊猫栖息地恢复提供了信息来源。
