After Giant Pandas were almost wiped out by poaching and human development, the rarest of bears has finally made a comeback. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature announced this week that there are now more than 1,800 Pandas in the wild.

But the battle for Panda survival still has a long way to go. Climate change is expected to render about one-third of Panda habitat uninhabitable by 2100.

It will take more than a couple thousand Pandas to keep the species going.
