The news came out late last night that Giant Pandas are no longer listed as endangered wildlife animals.

"The improved status confirms that the Chinese government's efforts to conserve this species are effective."
There has been a 17% rise in the number of pandas between the years 2004 and 2014, when a census in China found there were only 1,864.
