Solutions

WWF has been active in giant panda conservation since 1980, and was the first international conservation organization to work in China at the Chinese government's invitation. Early panda conservation work included the first-ever intensive field studies of wild panda ecology and behaviour.

Current work focuses on, the Minshan Mountains in Sichuan and Gansu provinces and the Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi province.

Solutions in theses areas include:

increasing nature reserves,

creating green corridors to link isolated pandas,

patrolling against poaching and illegal logging,

building local capacities for nature reserve management, and

continued research and monitoring.

A win-win solution

It is only by effectively addressing the needs of local people and encouraging sustainable practices that we can hope to ensure the continued survival of the giant panda. WWF and the provincial governments in Sichuan, Gansu and Shaanxi have initiated community development projects in villages in the Minshan and Qinling Mountains.

Community development activities include:

Providing the means for local villages to engage in alternative livelihoods and practices that increase their income and reduce the impact on the panda's habitat from environmentally damaging activities such as poaching and logging.

Providing villages with alternative energy sources such as biogas and wood-saving stoves for cooking and heating.

Training and educating local communities and government officials on environmental issues and best practice for conservation research.
