Abstract10
Human modification of land-cover has been a leading cause of floral and faunal species extirpation and loss of local and global
biodiversity. As natural areas are impacted, habitat and populations can become fragmented and isolated. This is particularly
evident in the mountainous areas of southwestern China that support the remaining populations of giant pandas (Ailuropoda
melanoleuca). Giant panda populations have been restricted to remnants of habitat from extensive past land use and land-cover
