The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) in Beijing is warning of a growing conflict between economic development and the protection of natural habitats of wild animals, including the country’s giant pandas, Xinhua has reported. Professor Fan Zhiyong, WWF Beijing’s Species Programme Director was reported saying that despite China’s successful panda breeding programmes, the threat of extinction for wild pandas still looms larges.
“If in the future the only way to see the survival of the panda as a species is to rely on the artificial insemination of frozen sperm, the extinction of this species is not far off,” Fan said.
