    Giant pandas are no longer classified as endangered but are still vulnerable, Chinese officials say.
    The classification was downgraded as their number in the wild has reached 1,800.
    Experts say that the country managed to save its iconic animal through its long-term conservation efforts, including the expansion of habitats.
    China considers pandas a national treasure, but have also loaned them to other countries as diplomatic tools.
    The latest classification upgrade "reflects their improved living conditions and China's efforts in keeping their habitats integrated", said Cui Shuhong, head of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment's Department of Nature and Ecology Conservation at a news conference.
    The new classification comes years after the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) had already removed the animal from its endangered species list and re-labelled it as "vulnerable" in 2016.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Still good news if true. The timing is suspect.
