Wei also explained that giant pandas in Qinling Mountains and Southwest China’s Sichuan province are different. Wei also answered several other questions of public concern about giant pandas.įor instance, giant pandas were originally carnivores but then became herbivores, and now the species mainly eats bamboo, which accounts for 99 percent of its diet. It is also a very important case,” Wei noted.
"The protection efforts made by China have changed giant pandas from endangered to vulnerable, which indicates that the biodiversity conservation of giant pandas in China is a very successful case in the world's biodiversity conservation. So I think it very rewarding to do the work,” Wei Fuwen, a conservation biologist, and member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said in a lecture on protection of biodiversity on Monday at the Ministry of Ecology and Environment.
"In the process of protecting giant pandas in China, several ecosystems in China for panda protection are valued at around $2.6 billion to $6.9 billion economically, which is 10 to 27 times the cost of protection. Protecting giant pandas in China has generated huge economic and ecological benefits, China’s top scientist in biodiversity and panda protection noted on Monday.
