Thanks to decades of conservation efforts, the number of wild giant pandas in China has grown from around 1,100 in the 1980s to approximately 1,900. Meanwhile, the global population of captive pandas reached 757 as of late November 2024. In recognition of this progress, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) reclassified the giant panda from "endangered" to "vulnerable" in 2016.
