This says giant pandas now survive only in western Sichuan, but authoritative species references place their current wild range in three Chinese provinces: Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu.
Full reasoning
This clause refers to the giant panda article (Mà-hṳ̀ng, Ailuropoda melanoleuca) and states that the species now lives only in western Sichuan.
That is too narrow. Authoritative species references say the current wild distribution is not limited to Sichuan:
- The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service says giant pandas are found in Sichuan, Gansu, and Shaanxi.
- The San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance fact sheet likewise says giant pandas occur in 6 remote mountain ranges and only in 3 Chinese provinces: Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu.
So the post's present-day range claim is incorrect because it excludes the species' existing populations in Shaanxi and Gansu.
