Long live the giant panda. The cute animal, long at risk of extinction, will see the forests in which it lives protected. Greenpeace in fact it has carried on a battle, which has finally come to an end, for protect the natural habitat of these creatures, threatened by deforestation.
After a series of complaints about the illegal cutting of Sichuan forests in China, the association got justice. To ascertain i cuts illegal, Two years of field surveys were required, the latter correlated by remote sensing and satellite map analysis.
Finally, the Sichuan Forest Bureau has accepted the complaints by Greenpeace, opening 15 judicial investigations and 8 administrative proceedings against 22 public officials. And, equally important, the Office has assured that it will protect the habitat of the panda, already declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco.
An important first step to lend a hand to the panda, which according to the Zoological Society of London, based on criteria of evolutionary uniqueness and small population, is una of the 100 mammal species most at risk of extinction.
In particular, the giant panda that lives in the forests of Sichuan is threatened byimpoverishment of its habitat and a very low birth rate. The protection of his home and the promise to do justice to counter illegal cuts are already a positive sign, which for Greenpeace could be the first step to a reform on a national basis. One third of China's forests are in fact at risk due to regulatory deficiencies.
“A loophole in the 'Technical regulation for the reconstruction of low-yield forests' in fact authorizes the replacement of the forest with more profitable plantations in the name of an alleged 'forest regeneration'. We asked Beijing to remedy this flaw as soon as possible, and we will continue to monitor the situation so that the protection of these areas does not remain only on paper! " lets know the association.
At least for the moment, the panda can breathe a sigh of relief.
