Mainly because of humans crowding them, and the plants they eat.

Pandas basically only eat a few types of bamboo, and that bamboo has a very special growth pattern. It'll grow just fine for several years, then it'll bloom and then it'll die. Then it'll be some time before it starts growing again.

Pandas need large areas of land so that when the bamboo in one section of the forest dies, they'll be able to move to somewhere where it's still growing.

Trouble is that humans are now competing with the pandas for space, and what used to be bamboo forests gets turned into farm land, cities and industries.

With nowhere else to go when the food runs out, pandas starve and die.
