The document discusses two endangered species, the red panda and Indochinese tiger. The red panda faces declining populations due to poaching, habitat loss, and the loss of nesting trees and bamboo forests across much of its range in the eastern Himalayas and southwestern China. There are estimated to be less than 10,000 wild adult red pandas remaining. The Indochinese tiger population is estimated at only around 350 individuals across Southeast Asia, and their numbers are sharply declining due to shrinking habitats, expanding human populations, and increasing demand for tiger parts for traditional medicines and remedies.

- The loss of nesting trees and bamboo is
causing a decline in red panda populations across much of their range because their forest home is being cleared. Indochinese Tiger Panthera tigris corbetti
- They can be found in
throughout Southeast Asia. This population occurs in Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and southwestern China.
- As per 2010, their population was
thought to only around 350 Indochinese Tigers left.
- Indochinese tiger numbers are in
shocking decline across its range because of shrinking habitats, expanding human populations, and their body parts are used for the increasing demand for traditional medicines, folk remedies and wild meat.
