GIANT pandas could become even more endangered, as global warmingthreatens their staple diet.
A study predicts climate change is set to wipe out much of the bamboo onwhich 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 toplaces where bamboo is less affected by rising temperatures.
Yale’s Dr Mao‐Ning Tuanmu said: “We will need pro‐active action to protectthe current giant panda habitats.
“We need time to look at areas that might become panda habitat in thefuture, and to think now about maintaining connectivity of areas of goodpanda habitat and habitat for other species.”
The research, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, focused onthe Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi Province, which are home to around 275wild pandas – around 17 per cent of the entire wild population.
