- Hi Wally,
Thanks for accepting my request. Regarding your query on Red Panda threats, the first and foremost reason is the transporting of this shy animal in zoo of the world. It is estimated that it is distributed in 188 zoo of the world and their no in captivity is 436. Wild population is calculated to be 2500. And the other two reasons are poaching and habitat destruction. However, we are working with the local communities to stabilize the population.
