but why there are some wildlife experts warning the species is under more pressure than ever. i'm still on this edition of one of one east we ask what's the future of china's panders. on any given morning here in southwest china you can find thousands of die hard fans queuing up eager to be the first to catch a glimpse of china's most famous celebrity. family with their furry black and white coats they look very much like a cuddly teddy bear. was. the one hundred thirty.

five. minute. visit greeting center has more pandas than anywhere else in the world. like rock stars their every move gets a reaction. wasn't what i heard. these girls traveled hundreds of kilometers over night to see them in action thing either on both of them home no question much as i see you. see. known to be extremely shy in the wind here crowds get within a few feet of them. in crawl as they sleep. i was. scratching the. wrestler it was. an eat. and

eat. and eat. an adult and it consumes up to fifty kilograms of bamboo shoots a day. there are now more pandas for the crowds to see thanks to developments in artificial insemination. from a handful of injured pandas rescued in the wild today to captive population has grown to more than four hundred and fifty. last year pandas were taken off the endangered list. should really is amazing how one animal can generate so much excitement among the question is how much are these crowds contributing to saving this missing person. is one of china's leading panda experts this whole cap for publication phenomena is something to do always.

love to animal to an extend that they want to touch human to own one. i would bet that if the policy allows people to raise panda as a pet the millions of people want to raise panda as a pet that's laugh a lot of hurt. me has devoted decades to studying pandas in the wild research she serves is under-funded. if you talk about investment in scientific research observation of animals kept track of much more money than the wild panda i would love to know how much money has been invested in captive population versus wild populations.

he believes reading pandas in captivity is all about making a profit not protecting the species. case in point where your poor beastie risen in northern china. here tour operators are cashing in with two tenders yoyo and see job on display. ok. despite this being in the middle of the mountains there is little that's natural about their environment. when we arrive we find them living on concrete floors. with great trees. and behind glass. people young human beings says having them here serves a greater purpose. by bringing penned us here it will help

a lot of people who don't have an opportunity to see them elsewhere to understand and my our national treasure. he says his pandas live a good life. although their constrain our outdoor playground is still helping them the playground is basically like nature. that's if nature has loud music. still the pandas do seem to like the ski resorts outdoor enclosures yan says this is the closest thing to the wild that these two could ever survive. in a pool where. i don't think the stupendous can go into the wilderness they've been kept in captivity too long. and he penned us to be reintroduced into the while need to start training from a very young age in order for them to better at that to the wilderness. china

has tried to reintroduce pandas into the wild but it hasn't gone well. after decades of breeding and for showmanship was the first to be released in two thousand and six just a year later his body was discovered lying in the snow in a bamboo forest. and was farming there was full of loans on the. other hand us. out of seven pandas that have been released the government says four are still alive to show you that you can say we paid the price for our failed attempts but we learned our lesson. yes. judge and some of the men behind the government's plan to policies has hope for the future when you know. what we're using every way to teach these baby pandas how to

survive in the wilderness we'll miss you wanted to know all the time you know and we hope had as will participate in mating and breeding activities as soon as possible that would maka ultimate success in sending them back to the wild but even some top experts within china's own breeding program say releasing captive pandas won't work and is downright cruel. agrees reintroduction is a very costly program personally i think it's from a scientific point of view it's not necessary because we have to solve them plus pandas in the wild because they can breed that they can live and. outsiders have never been allowed to venture deep independent territory until now. we've been given exclusive access into these remote mountains in western china.

the modern and habitat. we join the work and his team of rangers their guardians of this vast expanse good that's devoted twenty years to protecting panders. but it's a hard life has lost men to the harsh conditions here they're going through think how to cut into the field for them. we don't want to know how i worked in the herds you know that are. warman we talk about how we can all we know about how one forkful. of the nation one hundred five go through transition is fearful. they often spend weeks tracking pandas in

subzero degree temperatures but it certainly would have had other thought is also one got a little money. to loosen the two from the left i had to go to sleep for the cool i'm going to. clean up thank you are you have. these pictures captured on a camera truck show the object of his passion unlike those in captivity these ones are living free in their natural environment it's how her thinks they should live. her family to form an iron penguin suit on and. through from the border to the new her womb and watch it in the. new whether to war or not whatever you can board and holding while her sees millions of dollars a year is spent on captive bred pandas he and his men get on with little funding

and support but they've learned to make do. watch for. you watch. and so move are made by you there was a body got to go through from here and. the men are on constant lookout for signs of bite marks while prince turki. or droppings who are surrounded roof with the wall you're already into that you don't know how quick to hear your word a coward you know who. so i want to. try with. humble people here to laugh. every bit of information they gather helps them better understand the animals they are trying to save.

tracking pandas for these fourth ranger this difficult difficult work so that means going through these dense underbrush trying to find their trail and it's not easy. the landscape changes as we move deeper into panda territory. creditor. through law. without it if you don't know what to do we literally. the reserve spans almost two hundred thousand hectares of forest and mountains. of them to the. to the for. the passion want to remember that. according to her their recent surveys show this place has more pandas than anywhere

else they estimate a hundred and ten live here. well there's a number one issue with the initiative. even with this concentration most of whose men have only ever seen brief glimpses of these shy creatures. so rangers recently began installing camera traps throughout the reserve to better understand panda behavior. watching. them. the men are eager to see what this cameras capture but their hopes are quickly deft. and clumsy things as a law suit on. since it was hard to hide a low maintenance you know that you're the one. disappointed they fit the device

back on the tree. to make sure the angle is right their teammates pretend to be panders. and. what you do want to do. and what you want. they hope the next time the camera will capture a panda. but for now we call it a day. the rangers are always worrying about the pandas. slight fluctuations in supply of bamboo has the times lead to many deaths or fido.

just after dark we're back on the panda trail. after several hours the rangers spot something. you know. so you this from others are you serious or just to my own trained eye it doesn't look like much but those teams have found proof a panda is near now you are trying to try to and i paid it off. so you have had a slice of the year that we have. since you. know how to do the pull up some of the guys in the pros or what the young men who are going to do today has

had to do with thing that goes on and it's suited to a small town i mean i don't think the president's converging going for you going to a pub out in the summer is a good for the neutral. further up the hill another discovery from you know. lodging of a membership general you know. with my name in kendo the mood for them. what their daughter you've. been like i need you i don't mean we don't think you are she was high she would come with me go do this you know why didn't. we continue along

a narrow ridge hoping the panda is right around the corner. we come across another camera truck she's. hot. she said. she wasn't use. who she was you have to shut your mouth oh yes i hear more from. this time we hit the jackpot. and how when there was no. knowledge of the challenges. to them all fonction didn't. go so far we found her

paw print we found fairly fresh panda scat and a camera trap as actually captured a picture of a panda this is likely the closest we'll ever get to one of these wild creatures but it's a pretty good day. back at the makeshift camp it's time to celebrate their success. the team cooking up a feat. by. the words everyone's in good spirits and for her it's a chance to reflect on what they've achieved in turn our corner and all the other for when the ball would hop on the pot on the very last so well if. we're going to go while there's lots of studies on how pandas live in zoos these images offer a rare insight into pandas in their natural environment woman to her don't look at

the mother's home all day with someone and leave that. the house with a lure to do a camp are going to leave that can the obama people who are without it all. he believes this knowledge will go a long way to help save the species and into its own way to my own human here thomas and one. of the proud owner of the no woman who could move her dog to whom we were supposed to mother to watch into the ocean of whom my mother did the children wanted to that's easier. no watching. them with a gun and with a financial bubble. he says one thing they've learned is that the cute lazy creatures most people see in captivity are nothing like their wild cousins. you know. they are. so your.

father alone. while the vision shows pandas can be vicious to each other humans are their biggest threat. the next day we see that threat on the edge of a nearby reserve. an entire city has sprung up here. wildlife conservation expert new jersey says they've been pushing the government for decades to limit human encroachment into panda areas the best the panda have used to be a room remotes and the quiet now you have many people in it so quality of the handhelds pap's are not in crazy. it's not just more people and more towns there's also pressure from big business.

it's raining when we arrive on lawman mountain eleven pandas call this place home but as we soon discover their sanctuary is also the site of a phosphate mine. extracting this mineral from the earth in heavily damages the environment. in twenty twelve the government allowed the mine to expand operations. the river below has become a murky morass and an entire mountain is now being carved up how heartbreaking i mean this is the center of a panda reserve and look at the entire portions are torn up it's hard to imagine how pandas could thrive let alone survive in places like this in past fifty thousand years we had. pushed the panda up to.

environment. and then their orange pandas used to roam throughout china and parts of southeast asia now they are reduced to sixty seven reserves inside the country. some are so small they don't have any pandas living within them. last december after more than half a century of lobbying by conservationists china's president announced plans to help the world parent are making a massive national park and creating wildlife corridors connecting existing reserves. but it won't mean the end of captive panders they are just too valuable not only is money making tourist attractions but as diplomatic tools. back in one thousand nine hundred seventy two

u.s. president richard nixon and the first lady were given a pair of pants a reward for restarting relations between the two countries all of sudden there was a panda rush. that all of the world the panda. today fourteen countries had pandas on loan rewards for lucrative deals with china. these two are in malaysia. but pandas don't come for free malaysia gives china more than a million dollars a year for the pair and another six hundred thousand for the couple of newborns. add up all the pandas globally and china is raking in tens of millions every year eventually every one of them must also return home. land pandas

to. the all of the world in return get money back is that a commercial business or found raising for conservation program how much of that money actress banned in conservation especially in wild population. is there any come to believe. check the government denies the panda program is about making money that a woman. would put her for sure without the main purpose of sending pandas to zoos is not for profit but to promote the idea of wildlife protection. conservationists like her the one dream of the day when this unique species no longer needs to play to the cameras in zoos.

the dilemma is pandas are the beloved face a wildlife conservation. is the world willing to simply let them disappear from sight back into the wild. boar the public's love for pandas mean they can never go home. young rich and famous in china one of the news goes behind the great chinese firewall to meet the cyber celebs of a booming multibillion dollar business. at this time on al-jazeera. business
