Patrol and monitor panda habitats
Patrol and monitor panda habitats
Train people to patrol panda habitatPeople are being trained to enforce the reserve boundaries. Between 1996 and 2000, WWF trained more than 300 panda reserve staff and local government officials in nature reserve management, wildlife monitoring, anti-poaching patrolling, and innovative community-based conservation approaches.
Research helps us to understand pandas and how to best protect them
The success of panda conservation in recent years owes much to the work of Chinese and international researchers working with governments, universities and non-profit organisations, such as WWF.
They have been able to develop an accurate picture of the panda's survival status and formulate effective measures to reverse the panda's decline. Ongoing research and monitoring of pandas will be vital to our conservation success.
Camera traps provide a snaphot of the panda at home
Researchers in the Wanglang Nature Reserve have attached cameras to 30 trees throughout the reserve. The cameras are triggered by movement and snap pictures of occasional pandas and some of the other amazing wildlife that share the panda's habitat. The cameras, along with new GPS technology, are helping to create a more accurate picture of the number of pandas in the wild.
