GIANT pandas could become even more endangered, as global warming threatens their staple diet. A study predicts climate change is set to wipe out much of the bamboo on which the bears rely for food. Prime panda habitat in China could be decimated by the end of the century, according to the study by Yale University. Human development adds to the threat by blocking the bears’ access to places where bamboo is less affected by rising temperatures. Yale’s Dr Mao‐Ning Tuanmu said: “We will need pro‐active action to protect the current giant panda habitats. “We need time to look at areas that might become panda habitat in the future, and to think now about maintaining connectivity of areas of good panda habitat and habitat for other species.” The research, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, focused on the Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi Province, which are home to around 275 wild pandas – around 17 per cent of the entire wild population.
