Paragraph 1
Zoologists have
hailed saving the giant panda from the
of extinction as a conservation
story. For decades, the panda has been the "poster animal" for all endangered species. It is even on the
of the World Wildlife Fund. The International Union for Conservation of Nature removed it from the endangered species
in 2016, although it remains "
". Many conservationists are now concerned this has come at a
to other mammals, especially those sharing its
. A study published in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution found that the leopard, snow leopard, wolf and Asian
dog have almost disappeared from the
of areas in which the giant panda lives.
