On the morning of October 8, the State Council Information Office published the white paper "China's Biodiversity Conservation". The white paper shows that with the rapid and high-quality growth of the number of artificially bred giant pandas, the threat level of giant pandas has been reduced from "endangered" to "vulnerable", and it has been released into the wild and successfully integrated into the wild population.
In 40 years, the wild population of giant pandas has increased from 1,114 to 1,864. This is also a significant achievement and successful case of my country's biodiversity conservation work.
So, from "endangered" to "vulnerable", what have we done for giant pandas?

has established nearly 10,000 natural reserves.
The number of giant pandas increased to 1,864 in 40 years
The species rescue project will rescue and protect some rare and endangered wild animals, expand the population through artificial breeding, and finally realize the return to nature. The number of artificially bred giant pandas has shown rapid and high-quality growth, and has been released into the wild and successfully integrated into the wild population. The number of giant pandas in the wild has increased from 1,114 to 1,864 in 40 years, and the threat level of giant pandas has been reduced from "endangered" to "vulnerable". It shows that China has continuously promoted the innovation and development of biodiversity protection, achieved remarkable results, and embarked on a path of biodiversity protection with Chinese characteristics.
The reporter learned from the white paper that my country has implemented the national wildlife protection and nature reserve construction project in 2001, including giant pandas, , Siberian tiger, golden monkey, and span4span. 15 rare and endangered species of wild animals and plants, including cycad, have been identified as key projects.With rescue measures taken, nearly 10,000 natural reserves of various types have been established across the country, accounting for about 18% of the land area. 90% of terrestrial ecosystem types, 65% of higher plant communities and 71% of national key protected wild animal and plant species are effectively protected.
In the protection of wild animal genetic resources, construct and improve wild animal rescue and breeding institutions and germplasm gene banks. Support the construction of the National Endangered Wild Animal and Plant Gene Protection Center, the Cat Research Center, the Asian Elephant Conservation and Research Center, etc., to collect and preserve the genetic materials and genes of China's rare and endangered wild animals, a total of 220,000 genome-wide DNA samples of more than 800 species .

_p1 in 2018 Giant Panda National Park Administration was officially established in Chengdu. Subsequently, the Giant Panda National Park Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu provincial administrations were established respectively.
The Giant Panda National Park covers an area of 27,000 square kilometers, spanning Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu provinces, across five mountain systems, covering most of the wild giant panda populations and their habitats. There are 1631 wild giant pandas living in the park. Among them, the Sichuan area covers an area of 20177 square kilometers, accounting for 74.36% of the total area. There are 1,205 wild giant pandas in the area, involving 7 cities (prefectures), 20 counties (cities, districts), and 119 towns, covering various nature reserves. 66.
"Define the boundaries of the park reasonably,Protect the places that should be protected most. According to the relevant person in charge of the Sichuan Administration of Giant Panda National Park, the construction of habitat corridors has been strengthened. At present, 68 square kilometers of corridor vegetation has been restored, and fragmented habitats have been connected in series to optimize the living environment of giant pandas. Strengthen landscapes, forests and fields. The Hucaosha Life Community has been protected as a whole, and 28 square kilometers of giant panda habitat has been restored.
At the same time, the Giant Panda Science Research Institute and the Giant Panda Academy have been established, DNA files have been established for more than 500 giant pandas, and Daxiangling and Xiaoxiang have been established. Three giant panda release bases in Ling, Longxi and Hongkou. A monitoring network of "people in the sky" has been established to realize the digital management of the park.
Utilizing the "umbrella protection effect" of the giant panda as a flagship species, it has coordinated to protect more than 8,000 other species of companion animals and plants, and other rare animals of the same region have been discovered more than 1,600 times during field patrols. At present, under the combined effects of multiple protection measures, Part of the population in the Sichuan area of the Giant Panda National Park has achieved restorative growth, and the wild animal activity area has shown a trend of expansion.

There are communities and courts
73 giant pandas live here
Chengdu is the only mega city in the world with resources of wild pandas and captive pandas.
The Chengdu area of the Giant Panda National Park is located in the northwest of the Chengdu Plain, involving Dujiangyan City, , Pengzhou City, , Chongzhou City, Dayi County 4 counties (cities) with an area of 1459.48 square kilometers, of which the core protection area is 1145.01 square kilometers.

According to the fourth national survey of giant pandas, there are 73 wild giant pandas in the Chengdu area of the Giant Panda National Park.
Currently, Chengdu has started to compile the district protection and development implementation plan and entrance community plan. Integrate the original protected areas and management institutions to form a management branch, 4 management and protection main stations and 28 management and protection stations.
In Chongzhou, relying on the Yuantong People’s Court of the Chongzhou City People’s Court, established the Giant Panda National Park Chengdu District Court to realize the designated jurisdiction and unified trial of environmental resource cases in the Chengdu District of the Giant Panda National Park, and severely punish endangered pandas such as infringements on giant pandas. Wildlife crimes provide integrated judicial protection of "capture, prosecution, supervision, prevention, and education" for the service and guarantee of the construction of the giant panda national park.
The reporter learned from the Chengdu Administration of Giant Panda National Park that since its establishment, the court has accepted a total of 7 environmental resource cases, further promoted the improvement of the ecological protection multiple co-governance mechanism, and established a new framework for judicial protection and co-governance related to the giant panda national park. . At Dujiangyan , the Dujiangyan Management and Protection General Station of the Giant Panda National Park in 2020 cooperated with the Nature Conservation Association (TNC) to carry out the construction of artificial caves for the giant panda's wild birth cave and follow-up infrared camera monitoring projects. The six artificial caves built so far provide effective shelters for the survival and breeding of giant pandas and their comrades. Recently, the staff of the Longchi Management and Protection Station and the Scientific Research and Conservation Section have collected and sorted out the data of the artificial cave infrared camera , and found that in the past year, the giant panda, , Sichuan takin , , and Sichuan golden monkey have been in these countries. The first-level protected wild animals make good use of the cave.
In addition, Chengdu also relies on the giant panda super IP and eco-tourism resources to deploy the giant panda international tourism resort, the Li Bing cultural and creative tourism industry functional area, the Xiling Snow Mountain sports and health industry functional area, and the Longmen Mountain Mianjiang River Valley Eco-tourism Area 4 cultural and tourism industry functional areas, innovating "panda + tourism" and "panda + cultural and creative" models to create ecological tourism scenes such as Xiling Snow Mountain Scenic Area, Hongkou Scenic Area, Sun Bay Scenic Area, Huilonggou Scenic Area, etc. The “chain” builds a tourism loop, drives regional economic development, and promotes local residents to get rich and increase their income.
After careful construction, the Longxi-Hongkou Ecological Experience Community was selected as the first batch of Giant Panda National Park Ecological Experience Community.
