An Ontario cancer researcher is concerned that the Canadian Cancer Society has proportionally shifted funding away from research and is spending more of its dollars on fundraising and administration costs.
Minshan Mountains. Although the giant panda habitats in the Minshan Mountains area (Sichuan and Gansu Provinces) are larger, viewed collectively, fewer giant pandas live in these habitats â only about 45% of the total population of giant pandas living in the wild, in fact, live in the Minshan Mountains area.nfortunately, neither of these two mountainous areas forms a single, contiguous panda habitat. Instead it is broken up into small patches, with human-related patches in between them. A phenomenon referred to by panda experts as habitat fragmentation.
But the pandaâs natural habitat continues to decline. The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca, or literally âblack-and-white cat-footed animalâ) is a mammal classified in the bear family (Ursidae) and native to central-western and southwestern China.abitat destruction is the greatest threat to the survival of the species. In the eleven years from 1973 to 1984, suitable panda habitat shrunk by 50 percent in the isolated areas where pandas live. The Wanglang Reserve also lists interruption of migration routes as a major threat to the giant panda.
