- Abstract
In 2015, the Red Panda Network initiated habitat restoration initiatives with small-scale reforestation as a part of its community-based red panda conservation programme. The population of the Endangered red panda I Ailurus fulgens i has been reduced by half in less than 2 decades, predominantly as a result of habitat loss, degradation and fragmentation. This initiative developed into a flagship campaign known as Plant A Red Panda Home in 2020, which reforests core habitat and connects fragmented forest through land purchase and tree planting to create a wildlife corridor to sustain a viable red panda population.
