Endangered Bears are Ranked

The Giant Panda maintains the dubious distinction of being the most endangered bear in the world. This is inspite of numerous Panda births in recent months. Approximately 1600 Pandas remain. Their biggest threat is the continued habitat destruction and degradation. There are currently 60 reserves set up for Pandas to try to save this adorable species.

The Sun Bear is second on the list. The Sun Bear is the World's Smallest Bear species. This is the first time it was listed as vulnerable because previously not enough was known about it to determine whether it was endangered or not.
