Red pandas are threatened primarily by habitat loss and habitat fragmentation caused by road building and expanding human settlement, along with poaching. Poachers and game hunters seek them for their meat and skins, and many red pandas captured alive are sold to zoos or private individuals as pets. The red panda’s natural predators include snow leopards, herding dogs, birds of prey, and jackals.
