国际自然保护联盟：大熊猫不再属于濒危物种|大熊猫|濒危物种_新闻资讯
国际自然保护联盟（IUCN）上周六宣布，得益于中国政府几十年坚持不懈的保护，大熊猫已不再属于濒危物种。
“一系列大范围国家调查显示，此前的下滑趋势被遏制了，（大熊猫）数量开始增加，” IUCN在报告中称，“（大熊猫生存状况的）改善证实，中国政府保护这种物种的努力是富有成效的。”
按照国际自然保护联盟的划分，大熊猫从“濒危”名单转移到了“易危”名单下。
最新估测显示，成年大熊猫目前的数量大约是1864头，加上幼崽，总数预计达到了2060。
不过IUCN同时警告，保护大熊猫的任务还很严峻，因为受气候变化影响，未来80年，大熊猫赖以生存的竹林中有三分之一可能会消失。
“这样的话，大熊猫数量预计还会下降，让过去二十年努力的成果付诸东流，”报告说。
因此，“要想保护这种标志性物种，关键要继续实施有效的森林保护措施，应对好新出现的威胁。”
“在紧要关头，中国人为保护大熊猫做出了卓越的工作。”野生生物保护学会（WCS）灵长类动物学家、首席保护官员John Robinson告诉法新社。
在为大熊猫庆祝的同时，国际自然保护联盟也传出了一个不好的消息：世界最大的灵长类动物东部大猩猩成了濒危物种。
报告称，因狩猎猖獗，东部大猩猩全球数量目前只有5000头。过去二十年，东部大猩猩数量下降了超过70%。现在地球六大类人猿中有四大类处于濒危状态，除东部大猩猩外，还有西部大猩猩、婆罗洲猩猩和苏门答腊猩猩。
国际自然保护联盟濒危物种红名单中包括82954个动植物物种，其中近三分之一濒临灭绝。
