Abstract
This chapter provides a tentative panda accounting framework, developed from the extinction accounting framework of Atkins and Maroun. The combination of on-site and off-site conservation has strengthened conservation for giant pandas. Bamboo is the source of food for giant pandas and the distribution range of bamboo is one of the factors that determine the distribution of giant pandas. Giant panda conservation receives the significant investment from the Chinese government, compared with their other species’ conservation projects. The World Wide Fund for Nature was the first international organisation invited by the Chinese government in 1980, to help protect giant pandas. In 2013, China has completed the fourth national giant panda survey, which shows there are 1,864 giant pandas alive in the wild, increased by 17% compare to the survey in 2003. The ‘Bee Panda’ programme directly protects the ecological environment of giant pandas’ habitats by providing local people with a livelihood and encouraging them to protect the pandas and their habitat.
