There are ongoing efforts by scientists, con- servationists, and supporters of the United List of Threatened Animals Organization to help replenish the giant panda population to a safe number. These bears have diminished to be very low in abundance in the wild, with maybe as few as just over 1500 of them on the entire planet. There are approximately 150 Giant Pandas being maintained in captive environment. Most of the
Giant Pandas that are be- ing taken care of in the controlled set- tings are living in and around China.
