Red pandas have suffered from habitat loss
throughout their range; forests have been
cleared for timber extraction, agriculture and
development. (7) and A. f. fulgens is equally threatened in Nepal (8). The panda has also been exploited for its pelt; hats made from
the lustrous fur are still desired in Yunnan in
China for newlyweds, as it traditionally
symbolises a happy marriage
In southwest China, Red Pandas are hunted for
their fur, especially for the highly-valued bushy
tails from which hats are produced. In these
areas, the fur is often used for local cultural
ceremonies, and in weddings the bridegroom
traditionally carries the hide. The "good-luck charm"
The primary threats to Red Pandas are direct
harvest from the wild (live or dead), competition
from domestic livestock resulting in habitat
degradation, and deforestation resulting in
habitat loss or fragmentation. The relative
importance of these factors is different in each region, and is not well understood. For instance,
in India the biggest threat seems to be habitat
loss followed by poaching, while in China the
biggest threat seems to be hunting and poaching.
A 40% decrease in Red Panda populations has
been reported in China over the last 50 years, and populations in western/Himalayan areas are
considered to be lower.
The greatest challenge is human deforestation, as they eat mainly bamboo, a hot commodity in todays homes. Natural predators include weasels and Snow Leopards.
Humans have been destroying their natural habitat and hunting them for their fur, causing population declination.
Red pandas are being threatened by loss of habitat. As humans move into their natural habitat, they push the pandas out. Pandas can't adapt to new environments.
Threats of the red panda are the snow leopard, martens, and humans.
Habitat loss, Hunting.
