There are an estimated 1,600 pandas left in the wild in China, and thanks to new legislation, that number may change very soon — for the worse. The Chinese government is currently in the midst of introducing its forest tenure reform legislation in several provinces. Originally introduced in 2008, the new reforms were meant to stimulate local economic benefits reaped by people living in forest communities. The researchers say that this habitat could be totally wiped out under the new reforms — and the pandas that lived there would meet the same fate. https://thedodo/panda-bear-china-forest-reform-758195583.html
