Conservation projects have varied success. Many projects do
fail whether it be due to a lack of funds or government support or simply
because intervention has been too little too late¹. However many projects do
have at least some success and make some improvements. Attempts are
continuously being made to create new national parks or protected areas, which
reduces habitat loss. More time and effort is also now being invested in local communities
as it has been realised what an important role they play in helping protect
species. One example of this success is off course the high profile story of
the panda. In 2004 a survey of wild panda numbers showed a 40% increase from
the 1980s².
This demonstrates that although conservation is a continuous process and work
is on going there are effective ways of helping many species.
