"It is time to let the Panda go"

[karohemd]

Interesting viewpoint and I think quite valid as "survival of the fittest" applies here and the panda is, quite frankly, too stupidill adapted to survive. It would be entirely different if all it took was to conserve or expand his habitat.

I'd be interested to hear what my naturalist/conservationist friends think about this.

This is true the environment which suited it and encourage population spread and spread of these alleles to fixation must of existed for a long time >100000ya and it might be that without human intervention that it would of continued

Unfortunately humanity forces other animals to adapt or die out, some do very well, rats, seagulls and rabbits and others really suffer badly, their adaptability is one of those things which alters this and unfortunately pandas really don't appear very adaptable.
