Red Panda: Biology and Conservation of the First Panda

Red Panda: Biology and Conservation of the First Panda, Second Edition provides the most up-to-date research, data and conservation solutions for the red panda, Ailurus fulgens, including information on biology, pathology, husbandry and captive management. Since the publication of the previous edition in 2010, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has updated the threat level of red pandas as an endangered species. This edition provides an in-depth look at the scientific and conservation-based issues urgently facing today's red panda. This is a vital resource for conservationists, zoologists, and biologists, whether focused specifically on red panda research or general species conservation.

Led by the world's leading researcher and advocate for red panda conservation, this new edition includes work from the Population and Habitat Viability (PHVA) Workshops conducted in the species' geographic location of Nepal, China and India. These workshops provide firsthand research on the dwindling red panda population due to factors including deforestation, illegal pet trade, human population growth and climate change.
