Guest guest Posted August 7, 2001 Report Share Posted August 7, 2001 China Daily 7 August 2001 http://www1.chinadaily.com.cn/cndy/ The latest field survey showed that the number of pandas in Qinling Mountains has been increasing as their natural habitat has been improved. The survey, part of China's third general investigation on the panda, started last November and finished late in June of this year, covering 10 counties and five natural reserves. The Qinling Mountains are an important habitat for pandas. With the help of the central government and financial aid from the World Bank, the local government has invested 20 million yuan (US$2.4 million) since 1993 to restore the natural environment in the animal's home region. Over the past 20 years, China has established five natural reserve zones in the mountain area, 800 kilometres long and 200 kilometres wide.
