Aug. 3 (UPI) — Efforts to save the giant panda from extinction have come at the expense of other large mammals, a new study released Monday by the science journal Nature Ecology and Evolution said.

The study, led by Sheng Li, of Peking University, and William McShea, of the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute, suggests that leopards, snow leopards, wolves and Asian wild dogs have disappeared in areas protected for the giant panda.

The giant pandas have long been considered an “umbrella species,” meaning conservation efforts to benefit them were believed to have a spinoff effect that would benefit others. While some species have benefited, others have not.

Some researchers are now calling for a broader approach in managing the ecosystems where the giant pandas live so they can thrive but not to the determent of other species.

Since the giant panda reserves were set up in China during the 1960s, leopards have disappeared from 81% of reserves, snow leopards from 38%, wolves from 77% and Asian wild dogs from 95%.

Researchers found with the dwindling numbers of leopards and wolves, deer and livestock have mostly roamed free without a threat from natural predators, causing damage to natural habitats for surrounding wildlife, including the pandas.

Focused emotionally charged elected topics and allegories are the staple of the greens. They elect some issue or isolated instance, and then use the tail to try to wag the whole dog. They operate on the religious delusion that Nature has a permanence (as opposed to flux) and must be protected and preserved forever in its observed state.

Ecosystems are both complex and fragile. The more complex, the more interdependent, the more prone to catastrophic meltdown. You pull one brick out, the whole wall crumbles. Then, the complexity builds again, but different. It's entropy vs. anti-entropy.

That sounded smarter than anything Birx has ever said.
