Pandas are so well known as an endangered species that they are even used as part of the World Wildlife Fund’s iconic logo. One of the biggest reasons attributed to the decline in the panda species is the destruction of its natural habitat. Farmers in China have gradually been claiming more and more of the land.

When a species/animal is endangered it means that they are disappearing fast or have a very small population - not large enough to survive. Extinction means the end of existence for a species. The IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources) have compiled a Red List. This red list is a guide to how endangered a species is - animals are measured on a scale from 'Least Concern' to the worst, 'Extinct'; Least Concern - Near Threatened - Vulnerable - Endangered - Critically Endangered - Extinct in the Wild - Extinct.
