“…Choudhury (2001) discussed the global distribution and population status of the red panda with special reference to India. There have been studies in China on habitat selection, diet, reproduction, home range, phylogeny, distribution and conservation status (Gittleman, 1988;Johnson et al, 1988;Reid et al, 1991;Wei et al, 1999aWei et al, ,b,c,d, 2000aLi et al, 2005;Jiandong et al, 2006;Zhang et al, 2006Zhang et al, , 2009. Additional studies on ecology, distribution and population status of the red panda have been carried out in India and Nepal (Yonzon et al, 1991;Yonzon & Hunter, 1991a,b;Choudhury, 2001;Pradhan et al, 2001a,b;Williams, 2003;Mahato, 2004;Adhikari, 2010;Nath & Das, 2010).…”
