Smart tech is helping to save China's giant pandas
CNN
Pandas are no longer endangered, but their habitat is still vulnerable to natural disasters, such as wildfires. Now, conservationists in China hope that smart tech can help to safeguard the panda's future -- along with the other endangered species that share its home.
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. And while around 54% of its wild habitat is protected, these areas are still vulnerable to natural disasters, such as wildfires.
