... It is now protected in all countries in which it lives, and the hunting of Red Pandas is illegal everywhere."

"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. Red Pandas have a naturally low Birth Rate (usually single or twin births per year), and a high Death Rate in the wild."
