Though they are one of the most beloved animal specieson Earth pandas arent safe from the devastating effectsof climate change

According to a new study projected temperatureincreases in China over the next century will likelyseriously hinder bamboo almost the sole source of foodfor endangered pandas Only if bamboo can move tonew habitats at higher elevations will pandas stand achance the researchers said

However if conservation programs wait too longhuman inhabitants and activities could claim all of thenew habitats capable of supporting bamboo in awarming world

The researchers used various climate-change models to project the future for three bamboo species relied on bypandas in the Qinling Mountain region of China which represents about a quarter of the total remaining pandahabitat These models varied in their specific predictions but each forecasted some level of temperature rise withinthe coming century

The results suggest that if the bamboo is restricted to its current distribution area between 80 and 100 percent of itwill disappear by the end of the 21st century because it won t be able to grow under the increased temperatures[How Pandas Pick the Perfect Spot to Pee]

If however bamboo can move into new cooler areas (which will reach the same temperatures as current bamboohabitats due to warming) then there is hope However that all still depends on the extent to which humans cancurtail climate change by limiting greenhouse-gas emissions in the future

All the models are quite consistent mdash the general trend is the same Liu told LiveScience The difference is thedegree of the changes Even with very hopeful scenarios where we allow bamboo to go anywhere it wants thereare still very severe consequences Of course if the bamboo has nowhere to go then the panda habitat will be lostmore quickly

Many pandas in the wild currently live in nature reserves protected from human encroachment However almost allof the land encompassed by those reserves will be unsuitable for the bamboo if the temperatures rise as predicted

But if conservationists plan ahead now to move those reserves in line with changing bamboo habitats then it may bepossible to preserve the land the pandas will need

And climate change is not the only challenge facing giant pandas one of the most endangered species in the worldresearchers say Human activities have already severely limited the animals habitats and their dependence on asingle source of food one thats not that nutrient- or energy-rich doesnt help

In addition to their native habitats in China pandas live around the world in zoos and breeding centers But Liudoesnt predict a bright future for the bears if they lose their wild habitats

To really protect pandas you cannot just stick [them] into a breeding center or a zoo he said noting that theanimals genetic diversity would suffer among other issues Thats not a long-term solution

The results of the study are published in the Nov 11 issue of the journal Nature Climate Change
