Census Finds More Giant Pandas in the Wild
June 2004
China's forests are home to 1,590 giant pandas, 40 percent more than previously thought, a Chinese government survey shows. This is good news for a species that topped China's list of rare animals under special protection in 1962 and had environmentalists predicting its disappearance from the wild just 15 years ago.
...
The last survey found between 1,000 and 1,100 animals in the wild, but researchers caution that the apparent rise in the panda population may be a result of improved survey techniques and increased thoroughness rather than an actual recovery in numbers.
