Are pandas on the endangered species list?

Yes, pandas are on the endangered species list. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) classifies the giant panda as “vulnerable,” meaning it is at high risk of endangerment in the wild. The main threats to pandas are habitat loss and fragmentation, poaching, and a low reproductive rate. Conservation efforts, including habitat protection and captive breeding programs, are underway to protect the panda population.
