China's giant pandas at risk
Updated
The lives of nearly 90 per cent of China's giant pandas are being threatened due to the devastation of their mountainous habitat.
The State Forestry Administration says the lives of about 1,400 wild pandas in quake hit areas of Sichuan province are in jeopardy.
An official says massive landslides and large scale damage to forests triggered by last month's earthquake are threatening the existence of wild pandas.
The fate of the pandas raised concern following the devastating May 12th quake, which cut off access to large swathes of mountainous areas, including China's largest panda breeding centre in Wolong.
