BEIJING - About 35 pandas at a reserve in southwestern China face an uncertain future after nearly a quarter of their habitat was destroyed by last year's powerful earthquake that killed nearly 70,000 people, according to a study published Monday.
Large parts of Sichuan province — where most of the world's remaining wild pandas live — were devastated by the massive May 12 earthquake, which sent landslides crashing into river valleys and leaving 5 million homeless.
The landslides and mudflows destroyed 23 percent of the panda's habitat in the south Min mountain region and the remaining bamboo-rich land was left fragmented, potentially threatening the pandas' way of life, said Xu Weihua, the study's lead author and an ecologist with the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing.
Pandas are getting extinct and I really doubt if we can save them
Pandas situation isnt as bad as Tigers
Atleast they know the estimate population,here in India noone actually knows hows many are left in the wild and how many are killed every month.Monsoon season is the worst season for tigers,since Poachers roam easily in the jungles
