From the Paper:

"The endangered giant panda of China has been both culturally important and economically profitable to the Chinese for over two thousand years. Exclusive to the mountainous regions of central China, and only known to the western world since the late nineteenth century during the decline of the Qing Dynasty, the panda population has steadily dropped due to population expansion limiting their staple of bamboo, and illegal poaching as they are valued on the black market in live trade and for their unique pelts. It is estimated that fewer than 1,000 pandas exist in the wild today."
