Red pandas are listed as endangered! There are less than 10,000 left in the wild. Red pandas live in the Eastern Himalayas. They are protected in China, India, Nepal and other neighboring countries, despite the laws, humans continue to destroy the red pandas habitat. Logging, the clearing of land for farms, and grazing livestock are the main reason for their habitat loss.
The global rise in temperature due to climate change affects the red pandas habitat. Red pandas need a narrow altitude and temperature range to thrive. They are being forced to high altitudes to escape the heat.
Red pandas are hunted for the beautiful fur that sells for a high price on the black market.
