中文摘要：

大熊猫是我国的特产动物,古时被列为贡品,在近代被视为国宝。新中国成立以前,由于乱捕滥猎等因素,该物种已处于濒危状态。解放以后,我国政府于20世纪50年代开始了自然保护区建设,并于20世纪60年代建立了卧龙等5个大熊猫自然保护区,并将大熊猫列为禁猎动物。20世纪70年代我国进行了第一次全国大熊猫资源调查,基于调查结果新建了佛坪、唐家河、蜂桶寨等自然保护区,使有关大熊猫的自然保护区总数达到了13个。1985～1988年全国第二次大熊猫资源调查结果显示,野生大熊猫种群数量较第一次减少了54﹪。进入90年代,全国大熊猫保护区增至36个,迄今共建立了63个与保护大熊猫这一珍稀物种相关的自然保护区。全国大熊猫栖息地已由80年代衰落期时22 220 km2增加至34 000 km2,其中分布在保护区内的栖息地面积达29 000 km2,有效地保护了约85%的大熊猫栖息地总面积以及约50%的野生大熊猫种群数量。现存野生大熊猫种群数量估计约2 000只,因密度稀疏,发展空间大。目前,国家主管部门已出台了各种就地与迁地保护措施,只需各方通力合作,野生大熊猫的未来将是光明的。

英文摘要：

The giant panda,a tribute to emperors in ancient China,is an endemic species and regarded as a modern national treasure.Contributing to extensive illegal hunting,it has become endangered before liberation.During 1950s,Chinese government initiated the establishment of nature reserves to conserve wildlife and their habitats,and in 1960s,five reserves,including Wolong,Wanglang,Baihe,Labahe and Taibaishan,were established for the giant panda.Seven more reserves were established in 1970s,based on the first national ground survey for the giant panda,and the reserves for the species summed up to thirteen.The second national ground survey（1985-1988） indicated that the population of wild giant pandas was decreased as much as 54%.In 1990s,the total of panda reserves was increased to 36,and by now,there have been 63 reserves established to protect giant pandas and their habitats,covering about 85% of the remaining habitats and 50% of individuals.The extant population was estimated about 2000,sparsely distributed in remote western mountane ranges in China.Chinese government has developed many insitu and exsite conservation strategies to conserve the animal by now.Giant pandas should deserve a promising future.
