Conservationists hope that smart tech can help to safeguard the panda’s future.
The giant panda has long been the face of animal conservation, ever since WWF adopted the adorable black-and-white bear as its logo in 1961. But, after decades of intensive conservation programs, pandas are no longer endangered.
With a relatively small population though, pandas are not out of the woods -- or the bamboo forest -- just yet. The biggest threat to the wild panda population is habitat loss. Its reliance on bamboo for sustenance has made the species particularly vulnerable to environmental changes, and China's rapid urban development over the past century has pushed pandas into a fraction of their historic range.
