1,900 wild giant pandas now exist due to China's panda diplomacy and global conservation efforts, reducing their extinction risk to "vulnerable."
China's panda diplomacy has led to a significant rise in the number of giant pandas in the wild, increasing from 1,100 in the 1980s to 1,900 today, thanks to global conservation efforts. The species is no longer considered at risk of extinction but is given the safer status of "vulnerable." This accomplishment is credited to international cooperation, with the U.S. playing a crucial role in scientific and research endeavors.
