Why Are Pandas Disappearing?

Lost their forest habitat due to China’s expanding human population-

China's financial status continues its fast growth and continues to over-populate both China and the rest of the world. Unfortunately, in many places there is barely enough room for humans to live comfortably, let alone other animals.

Habitat loss-

Forests are being cut down and becoming instead: undeveloped areas, areas for medical herb gathering, bamboo harvesting areas, hunting areas, and large-scale expansion performance areas such as road building, hydropower growth, and mining.

Illegal trades-

Pandas used to be hunted for money and other purposes, however this has since been banned. Unfortunately, some people are still hunting pandas today.

Bamboo 'die-back'-

This is a usual phenomenon happening around each 15–120 years depending on the type of bamboo. Once the bamboo dies it can take a year to grow back and as long as 20 years before the fresh plant life can maintain a giant panda population.
