According to records from some choreographies and ancient books, about 2,000 years ago, giant pandas were living in many provinces such as Hunan, Hubei, Shanxi, Gansu, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi. Due to the constant expansion of human production activities, the habitat of the giant panda gradually shrank and presently they are only distributed in the southern side of Qingling Mountains, in southern part of Gansu province and in the mountains and valleys in the northwest of Sichuan basin.
